Your kitchen is going to smell like you lit a maple bacon-scented candle after you bake up these salty-sweet-savory-crunchy Bacon Crackers.

Ingredients

  • 40 club crackers
  • 7 slices maple flavored bacon
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • a few pinches of cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350℉

  2. 2

    Line the baking sheet with foil

  3. 3

    Place wire rack over the baking sheet

  4. 4

    Put 20 crackers evenly spaced on the baking sheet

  5. 5

    Cut the bacon slices into smaller pieces that fit over each cracker. The bacon shrinks while it cooks so it's best to have the bacon pieces be a little larger than the crackers.

  6. 6

    Add just under a teaspoon of brown sugar over each bacon-covered cracker

  7. 7

    Sprinkle just a few pinches of cayenne pepper over the entire pan of crackers (optional). Cayenne pepper is strong, so just a little bit works for flavor!

  8. 8

    Bake for 20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the brown sugar is melted.

  9. 9

    Let the crackers cool completely before serving. If the crackers get stuck a little to the rack while they cool, press them up from underneath the rack to loosen them.
