Cracker Bacon Appetizer

This cracker bacon appetizer is so simple to put together, can be frozen for later, and tastes AMAZING! Salty, sweet, and a little spice will be perfect for your next party or holiday!!

I LOVE these cracker bacon appetizers!! They are a crowd pleaser every single time. These are a twist on The Pioneer Woman’s Holiday Bacon Appetizers so of course, they are delicious. I also love how easy it is to make a whole bunch ahead of time, toss them in the freezer, then simply crisp them up in the oven before the party.

The ingredients are simple, bacon, crackers, and brown sugar. I feel like bacon is a great start to any recipe.

I like to cut the whole pound of bacon in half, right in the package. Before wrapping it around the crackers I also like to stretch it out so it goes around enough times to stay put.

Aren’t these little guys beautiful?? I bake them on a cooling rack set over a sheet tray lined with foil. I line the sheet tray with foil so I don’t have to clean it up too much afterward. 🙂

Oh hey, I’m a super lazy cook.

I bake them on a sheet tray so as the fat renders, it will fall away from the crackers and keep them crispy.

I also put the brown sugar on top because I like how it crisps up and caramelizes as it drips down the bacon.

Are you drooling yet?

Uh huh.

If you like a little spice in your life, sprinkle the tops with chili powder. IT IS SO GOOD. Seriously, you guys. If you like a lot of spice, use cayenne pepper.

Spicy. Sweet. Salty. 

Heaven.

So, are you making these for your New Years party????????
