Ingredients

• 1 sleeve buttery round crackers
• 8 to 10 slices bacon, cut into thirds
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Wire cooling rack
• Parchment paper or aluminum foil
• Small bowl
• Sharp knife

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. The rack allows air to circulate around the crackers and helps the bacon cook evenly while preventing the bottoms from becoming soggy.

Step 2: Arrange the Crackers

Place the crackers in a single layer on the wire rack. Leave a small amount of space between each cracker to ensure even baking.

Make sure all crackers lie flat and are stable enough to hold the toppings.
