Ingredients

• 18–24 buttery rectangular crackers (club-style works best)
• 8–10 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into halves or thirds
• 3/4–1 cup packed light brown sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, making sure it covers the sides to catch any drippings. (Optional: place a wire rack on top for extra crispiness.)

Step 2: Arrange the Crackers
Place the crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. Keep them close together but not overlapping.

Step 3: Add the Bacon
Cut the bacon into pieces that fit neatly on each cracker. Place one piece of bacon on top of each cracker.

Step 4: Add Brown Sugar
Sprinkle a generous amount of brown sugar over each bacon-topped cracker. Press it lightly so it sticks to the bacon.

Step 5: Bake
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 40–60 minutes. The bacon should be cooked through, and the sugar should be melted, bubbly, and caramelized.

Step 6: Cool Slightly
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool on the tray for 10–15 minutes. The sugar will thicken as it cools.

Step 7: Serve
Carefully remove the crackers using a spatula and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Brown sugar bacon crackers are the perfect combination of crunchy, salty, and sweet. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a crowd-pleasing appetizer that disappears fast.
