Delicious Bacon and Cracker Appetizers

"I'm always on the search for new appetizers. You can always have the ingredients on hand for this one. It's versatile so if you can't find the Club or Society-style crackers (these are rectangular in shape), any buttery cracker (Ritz will do if you can't find Club). Don't use thick sliced bacon. In fact what I do is take each piece of bacon and lay it on my cutting board and 'smear' it thinner and longer with the warmth of my hands. You might not need the whole box of crackers and you might not use all of the brown sugar. Some people like them with more sugar. Make these to suit YOUR OWN taste. Yield is approximate because I only make them as I need them."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Line cookie sheet with Reynolds Release® foil.
  • Cut bacon slices in half (or thirds if you've'smeared' it thin and long with your hands).
  • I separate crackers at perforations so each cracker will be about two bites.
  • Wrap bacon from under short end of cracker up and around to the other end of cracker so the cracker is wrapped and ends of bacon are underneath cracker.
  • Sprinkle each bacon wrapped cracker with some brown sugar (to taste).
  • Bake in 350° for about 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned and bacon is a little crispy.
  • Remove IMMEDIATELY from baking sheet to serving platter especially if you haven't used the Release® foil because you don't want them to stick.
  • Enjoy warm.

  1. My friends liked these quite a bit! I thought they were pretty good as well, especially for how easy they are! I don't think they'll ever be my favorite, but I'll certainly make them again since it's a simple way to fill out the appetizer table.
     
  2. Can't beat this for an easy appetizer. Quick, easy and always a hit!

Hmm... let's see.. Cooking is my passion... I'm retired now and able to cook and bake every day. I think the most helpful cookbook that I own would have to be The New Doubleday Cookbook. I just love kitchen gadgets and have many of them. Besides cooking I love to sing and belong to the Sweet Adeline's International. I get very annoyed at people who are LATE! I think it's just as easy to be late as it is to be on time. Well.. thanks to all of you at Zaar for all of your terrific recipes and ideas that bring my friends and family much joy and happiness. They get to try all of my new recipes.
