Made these in advance, might not have been a good idea- crackers got soft. How do you store these? I’m going to try to freshen them up by placing on pan in oven at 400 for a few minutes…fingers crossed.

I made two pans of this. My bacon curled up and the crackers got very dark. I lowered the temp to 350 and the crackers didn’t over-brown, but the bacon didn’t really crisp… but it was still tasty;.
Lisa says
I would put a little of the sugar mixture on the cracker as well

Hi, Love the look of your Easy Glazed Bacon Crackers!
How does the bacon stick to the cracker?
Thanks!
Christina Hitchcock says
The brown sugar caramelizes and melts causing the bacon to adhere to the cracker.
