These Glazed Bacon Crackers are an easy appetizer recipe that your guests will LOVE!
If you want to be the talk of the next party (in a good way, of course), you must make these super easy Glazed Bacon Crackers! People will be chasing you down to share the recipe.
I love how the smoky bacon is enveloped in a sweet glaze that has just a hint of heat.
If you don’t like the spice from the pepper, you can always omit it. Or, if you like things a little spicier you can always add a little more pepper – it’s entirely up to you.
It’s a good thing that they are easy to make since they will be devoured in a matter of minutes. So, you better make two batches! And, if you’re taking them to a party – bring a copy of the recipe. You will be asked for it. I promise!

November 3, 2018 at 10:10 amMade 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.

December 3, 2016 at 4:45 pmI 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;.

How does the bacon stick to the cracker?
Thanks!
