This very tasty recipe is taken directly from a successful American blog called The Pioneer Woman by blogger Ree Drummond.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of flaky crackers (such as 'President's Choice Original Rich and Flaky Topping Crackers')
- 1 pound of thinly sliced bacon (or as much as you need depending on how many appetizers you're making)
- Grated Parmesan Cheese or Brown Sugar
 |
| The name of these crackers is very explicit. |
Lay crackers face up on a cookie sheet. Place about 1 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese (or brown sugar) onto each cracker. Cut the bacon strips in half and wrap each cheese- (or sugar-) covered cracker in one half piece of bacon. It should fit snugly around the cracker. Place the bacon-wrapped crackers onto a baking sheet that has a metal rack on it, then place the sheet in a 250-degree oven for about 2 hours.
Editor's Note: After baking, these can be cooled and placed in a freezer bag (and subsequently frozen)for later use. They just need to be warmed slightly in the oven prior to serving.
The amazing (and potentially attack-inducing) thing about these appetizers is just how much of the bacon fat is absorbed by the cracker. Ah well, it makes for easy clean-up of the baking sheet.

| I decided to try both flavours....cheese and brown sugar. |
 |
| Wrapped and ready for the slow bake. |

The finished product. You'll notice that the bacon sometimes torques the crackers during baking....this only adds to the appeal. (Cracker girdled by bacon sounds yummy to me).
