Step 3: Add the Magic Touch
Place a small spoonful of brown sugar right on top of each wrapped cracker.
As they bake, the sugar will melt and caramelize, coating the bacon and cracker in a glossy, sweet glaze.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes.
Keep an eye on them toward the end—the bacon should be crispy, and the sugar should be bubbling and slightly caramelized (not burnt).
Step 5: Cool (If You Can Wait)
Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
This step is important because the sugar glaze will set slightly, making them easier to handle and even more delicious.
