These crunchy little crackers are so hard to resist. Make them for your next get together and watch them disappear.
Ingredients Needed
- Club Crackers– the buttery crunch of Club Crackers is perfect for this recipe, plus they are a great cracker to keep stored in your pantry. I Love them with cheese or peanut butter for a quick snack. You can use Ritz crackers if you prefer.
- Bacon– Use regular bacon, not thick-cut. Thick-cut takes too long to cook and get crispy.
- Brown Sugar– I use light brown sugar, but dark brown sugar can be used instead. The brown sugar melts and turns the bacon into candied bacon.
- Cayenne Pepper– adds a little spiciness. Use as much or as little as you like.

How To Make Spicy Candied Bacon Crackers
More detailed instructions in the recipe box below.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees and set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- Arrange crackers on the wire rack and place a bacon piece on top of each one.
- Mix together brown sugar and cayenne and sprinkle on top of bacon.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.

Recipe Tip
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
Recommended Equipment
- Rimmed Baking Sheet– a few rimmed baking sheetsare great to have in your kitchen. I use mine every week for roasting vegetables.
- Wire Rack– a wire rackis necessary to help prevent the crackers from burning and keep them crisp.
- Tubberware– for storing the bacon crackers. I love these glass storage containers with lids.
How To Store
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 days and reheat in a 200 degree oven.
