What You’ll Need
- Buttery round crackers. Use about 30 whole crackers so each one holds together as you wrap it.
- Bacon. Regular-cut slices are easy to bend around the crackers. Cut 10 slices crosswise into thirds to make 30 pieces.
- Brown sugar. Sprinkle a little over the bacon on each cracker for a sweet finish.
How to Make Bacon-Wrapped Crackers
Wrap each cracker with a piece of bacon, stretching it gently just enough for the ends to meet or overlap underneath. Place the crackers seam-side down on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. If you have an oven-safe wire rack, set it inside the pan first so the drippings can collect below the crackers.
Divide the brown sugar among the tops and bake at 250°F (120°C) for 1½ to 2 hours. Start checking at 90 minutes. The crackers are ready when the bacon is browned and crisp and the sugar has melted into a glossy coating. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
