Went next door for cocktails last night.  Had my new favorite appetizer! Crackers – topped with bacon and brown sugar – a yummy, sweet, and porky treat!  Want a spicy-sweet flavor? Add a bit of ground black pepper or cayenne pepper over the brown sugar.  Bonus – you can freeze them and reheat.  There are those who use parmesian cheese, but I can’t imagine it being as good as brown sugar.
Ingredients:

• 1 package (13.7 oz.) club crackers (or any recutangler cracker)
• 1 lb regular sliced bacon, cut into thirds
• brown sugar –  don’t skimp

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 250° F.
2. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. Arrange crackers on a rack over the baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Top each cracker with 1/3 slice bacon (to fit the top of the cracker).
5. Evenly sprinkle plenty of brown sugar over the top.
6. Bake for 1 hour or more until browned and crisp.
7. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield: 36 Serving Size: 1 cracker (no one will eat just one!!)

1. Or wrap bacon, cut in half lengthwise, around the center of the cracker making sure to cover the entire cracker.
2. Place the crackers on the rack with the bacon ends facing down. This will help to keep the bacon from unraveling.
