These Candied Bacon Crackers combine the irresistible flavors of crispy bacon, buttery crackers, and a sweet caramelized topping. Perfect for parties, game day, or as an indulgent snack, they are easy to make and impossible to resist.
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve buttery crackers (like Club or Ritz crackers, about 30 crackers)
- 10–12 slices bacon, cut into thirds
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a little heat)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for extra flavor)
- Maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack on top. This allows the bacon grease to drip down while baking.
Step 2: Arrange the Crackers
- Lay the crackers in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure they don’t overlap.
Step 3: Top with Bacon
- Cut the bacon slices into thirds so they fit neatly over the crackers.
- Place a piece of bacon on top of each cracker.
Step 4: Add Brown Sugar and Seasoning
- Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of brown sugar on top of each piece of bacon.
- If using, sprinkle a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper and black pepper on each cracker for extra flavor.
- For an optional twist, drizzle a small amount of maple syrup over the bacon.
