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.

Ingredients for cracker bacon appetizers, bacon on a white plate, brown sugar in a bowl, crackers in a sleeve.

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

Stretching a piece of bacon before wrapping it around a cracker.

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.

Sprinkling brown sugar on top of cracker bacon appetizers.

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.

Sprinkling chili powder on cracker bacon appetizers.

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.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon thinly sliced
  • 1 sleeve crackers club-style
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder optional, see notes
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Line a sheet tray with foil and place a wire, oven-safe, cooling rack on it. 
  • Cut all the bacon strips in half. This is most easily done by slicing the entire package in half before removing the bacon. 
  • Lightly stretch out the bacon and wrap it around a cracker. 
  • Place the cracker on the wire rack set over the baking tray. 
  • Place about 1 teaspoon of brown sugar on each bacon wrapped cracker. 
  • Sprinkle the tops with chili powder, if desired. 
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours until the bacon is cooked. 
  • Broil on high for 3-5 minutes (watch closely so it doesn't burn!) until the brown sugar is caramelized and crispy on top.
