Equipment

Ingredients

48 Town House Crackers 2-3 sleeves
16 slices bacon center cut, cut into thirds
3 tablespoons Sriracha
4 tablespoons light brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200F.
Place a cooling rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet. You can line sheet with foil beforehand if you prefer.
Brush each cracker with Sriracha on one side.
Wrap the cracker with a third of a slice of bacon. The cut bacon should just fit around the cracker with the ends coming together.
Place the crackers on the cooling rack/baking sheet with the cut ends of the bacon under the crackers and the Sriracha side up.
This will keep the bacon from unraveling while baking.
Bake for 1 hour.
At the one hour mark, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Sprinkle each cracker with a little bit of light brown sugar.
Return the crackers to the oven and bake for another hour or until the bacon is crispy to your liking.
When the bacon crackers are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container until ready to eat.

Notes

I prefer to use a cooling rack on a baking sheet so the fat from the bacon can drain away and keep the crackers very crispy.
If your sugar burns a little, you can try putting the sugar under the bacon.
If you don't like the spice, you can leave off the sriracha or just brush them with a little butter.
A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese under the bacon gives the crackers a flavor bump if you like that.
The number of bacon slices varies slightly from package to package (12 ounce) so I just use the full package and wrap as many crackers as I can.
