Bacon Crackers
Crispy saltine crackers wrapped in bacon and baked until perfectly crisp. Can be made two ways - with fresh rosemary for an herbed version or topped with brown sugar for a sweet-savory treat.
Ingredients
- •12 slices bacon slices (not thick-cut)
- •48 pieces saltines or buttery crackers
- •48 pieces fresh rosemary tips
- •6 teaspoons dark brown sugar
Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil for easy cleanup.

Arrange the crackers on a work surface and wrap a bacon strip around each cracker, overlapping the ends on top.

If making Herbed Bacon Crackers, tuck a base of rosemary tips under overlapping ends of bacon. If making Brown Sugar Bacon Crackers, carefully sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon brown sugar on the top side of each cracker, pressing to help it adhere (avoid getting sugar on the cracker or it will burn.)

- 5.
Set a perforated rack on top of the foil-lined broiler pan and arrange the crackers seam-side down 1/2 apart in a single layer and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the bacon is at your desired level of crispness. Transfer the crackers to a cooling rack and cool completely before serving.
