Bacon Crackers
Ingredients
Townhouse butter crackers OR Keebler butter crackers are fine too. Square or oval type.
1 package of bacon
Brown sugar
Cayenne pepper

Preparation

Heat the oven to 350°F. Place crackers end to end on a wire rack set into a rimmed cookie sheet.Slice the bacon into thirds. Place a sliver of the cut bacon lengthwise on each cracker, Sprinkle a generous amount of brown sugar onto the bacon topped crackers. Then lightly sprinkle with cayenne pepper (be careful!!! Gets HOT quick!!) Bake until the sugar begins to melt & the bacon becomes crisp. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the crackers to cool on the rack before eating.

Cook’s Notes

Cut the bacon into third or fourths and use the less expensive thinner bacon! (I know I know….GASP!!) make sure it is the length of the cracker and doesn’t overlap. The brown sugar should be a good layer….the weight, as it melts into the bacon, helps it lay flat! bacon crackers also make an awesome light lunch or dinner with a good crisp salad!
