Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 box Club crackers (about 36 crackers)
  • 1 pound bacon, cut into thirds
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • Cayenne pepper, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bacon crackers evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Crackers: Lay out the Club crackers in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Wrap the Crackers: Take each piece of bacon (cut into thirds) and wrap it around one Club cracker, ensuring the bacon covers most of the cracker.
  4. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the wrapped crackers with brown sugar evenly, followed by a light dusting of cayenne pepper and black pepper to add a sweet and spicy flavor profile.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and crispy, and the sugar has caramelized on top of the crackers.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bacon crackers to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, place the baking rack on top of a baking sheet and arrange the bacon wrapped crackers on the rack to allow fat to drip away.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for a meatier bite, but adjust baking time as needed.
  • These bacon crackers can be made ahead of time and reheated gently in the oven before serving.
