Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Club Crackers about 36, or any buttery cracker like Ritz or Townhouse
  • 1 pound bacon cut into thirds
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar light or dark
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep – Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire cooling rack on top.
  2. Assemble – Arrange crackers in a single layer on the rack. Top each cracker with a piece of bacon.
  3. Add Flavor – Evenly sprinkle about a teaspoon of brown sugar over each cracker, followed by a pinch of cayenne and black pepper.
  4. Bake – Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the sugar has caramelized.
  5. Cool & Serve – Let them cool completely before serving to allow the sugar to harden.

Notes

  • Use Scissors – Cutting bacon with scissors makes prep much easier.
  • Thin Bacon Works Best – Thick-cut bacon takes too long to crisp and may burn the crackers.
  • Add Extra Heat – For a spicy twist, top each cracker with a thin slice of jalapeño before baking.
  • Make Ahead – Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
