Brown Sugar Bacon Crackers

 


Salty, sweet, and made with only a handful of ingredients, these little crackers have a way of disappearing before they ever have a chance to cool.


Ingredients

  • 24 buttery round crackers
  • 8 slices bacon, cut into thirds
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Small pinch of cayenne pepper, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the crackers on a foil-lined baking sheet fitted with a wire rack.
  • Put a piece of bacon on top of each cracker.
  • Sprinkle each with brown sugar and a little black pepper. Add a tiny pinch of cayenne if you like some heat.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked and the brown sugar has melted and caramelized.
  • Let them cool for several minutes before serving.

Put these on a plate with a stack of napkins and don’t worry about leftovers—there probably won’t be any.
