How to Bake Bacon Crackers That Snap and Crunch
Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top for perfect crispiness.
Gently drape each cracker with a slice of bacon, ensuring it wraps around just once and sits snugly.
Sprinkle a delicate layer of brown sugar over each bacon-wrapped cracker. For adventurous taste buds, add a dash of cayenne or black pepper.
Slide the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 275F (135C). Let the crackers transform for 45-55 minutes until the bacon turns deliciously crisp and golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to rest briefly. The bacon will continue to crisp up, creating an irresistible crunchy texture. Serve and watch them disappear quickly!

Crispy Bacon Crackers Recipe
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 9 1x
Description
Savory bacon crackers bring irresistible crunch and salty goodness to your snack lineup. Crispy, cheesy, and utterly addictive, these homemade treats will become your new party favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve buttery rectangular crackers (club crackers)
- 1 lb (454 g) thin-cut bacon, cut in halves or thirds
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper or black pepper (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Preparation: Calibrate oven to 275F (135C), strategically line baking sheet with foil and position wire rack on top for optimal heat circulation.
- Bacon Wrapping: Meticulously encase each cracker with a single layer of bacon, ensuring precise coverage and securing the wrap with seam facing downward on wire rack.
- Seasoning: Delicately dust bacon-wrapped crackers with a whisper of brown sugar, optional cayenne or black pepper for a subtle flavor enhancement.
- Roasting: Slide the prepared rack into preheated oven, allowing bacon to transform into crispy, caramelized perfection through gentle 45-55 minute baking process.
- Cooling: Extract crackers from oven and permit brief resting period, during which residual heat will continue crisping the bacon and intensifying its textural complexity.
Notes
- Stretch bacon slightly when wrapping to ensure it adheres tightly to the cracker and doesn’t slide during baking.
- Thinner bacon slices crisp faster, while thicker cuts need longer cooking time, so adjust baking duration based on bacon thickness.
- Use a wire rack to allow excess bacon fat to drip down, keeping crackers crisp and preventing soggy bottoms.
- Experiment with different spice combinations like smoked paprika, garlic powder, or maple sugar to create unique taste variations.
