Ingredients
- 1 sleeve buttery rectangular crackers (like Club crackers)
- 1 lb bacon (regular cut, not thick cut)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top (this helps the bacon crisp up evenly).
2. Arrange the crackers in a single layer on the rack. Don’t overcrowd — give them a little space.
3. Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Lay one piece of bacon over each cracker.
4. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over the top of each bacon-topped cracker.
5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the brown sugar is bubbly and caramelized.
6. Cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. The sugar will harden slightly as it cools, giving each cracker that perfect sticky-crisp texture.
Tips & Variations
- Add a sprinkle of cracked black pepper or chili flakes before baking for a spicy kick.
- Use maple bacon or peppered bacon to elevate the flavor.
- These keep well for a day or two stored in an airtight container at room temperature (if they last that long!).
