Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 24-30 pieces buttery round crackers (like Ritz style)
  • 12-15 slices slices of bacon (cut in half)
Sugar Mixture
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (optional) Adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional) Adjust for heat preference
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (optional) For extra caramel flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
  3. Arrange the crackers on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Wrap each cracker with half a slice of bacon, spiraling it around gently.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with black pepper and cayenne (if desired).
  6. Generously sprinkle the sugar mixture over each bacon-wrapped cracker.
  7. Drizzle maple syrup on top if desired.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-35 minutes until the bacon is cooked and caramelized, watching closely to prevent burning.
  2. Let the crackers cool for 10-15 minutes so the sugar hardens into a crunchy glaze.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. Best enjoyed fresh. You can experiment with seasonings like garlic powder or smoked paprika for added flavor.
