3-Ingredient Bacon Crackers are the ultimate easy snack—crispy, sweet, salty, and totally addictive. Buttery crackers, smoky bacon, and rich brown sugar come together to create bite-sized treats that practically melt in your mouth. They bake low and slow, caramelizing beautifully for the perfect crunch every single time.

Hosting a game day party? Putting together a holiday platter? Or maybe you just need a salty-sweet fix? These little wonders deliver huge flavor with barely any effort. With only three pantry-friendly ingredients, they’re just as budget-friendly as they are crowd-pleasing.

Here’s a fun tidbit: Southern cooks have passed this recipe around for decades. Many call them “crack crackers” because they’re that irresistible. One bite, and you’ll understand the obsession.

So, grab that box of crackers, slice up some bacon, and sprinkle on the brown sugar. Before you know it, you’ll have a tray of golden, crispy snacks that disappear fast. Trust us—make a double batch!

INGREDIENTS

24 rectangular buttery crackers
8 slices bacon (cut into thirds)
¼ cup packed light brown sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.

2. Assemble the crackers:
Lay the Club crackers in a single layer on the rack. Top each cracker with a third of a bacon slice. Sprinkle a generous pinch of brown sugar evenly over each piece of bacon.

3. Bake until crispy:
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and crisped and the sugar is melted and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly—be careful, the sugar will be hot!

4. Serve and enjoy:
Once slightly cooled, serve warm or at room temperature. These are addictively crispy, sweet, and salty—perfect for parties or snacking!


Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

  • Use a Wire Rack: Placing the crackers on a wire rack allows air to circulate and bacon fat to drip off, keeping the crackers extra crisp.
  • Cut Bacon Evenly: Slice bacon into thirds to ensure each piece fits neatly on the cracker and cooks at the same rate.
  • Let Them Cool Slightly: The brown sugar gets hot and gooey—cooling lets it set into a perfectly crackly, candy-like topping.
