Instructions

6. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over each piece of bacon.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-60 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has caramelized.

Notes
Use thin-sliced bacon to ensure it crisps up evenly without overpowering the cracker.
Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes for a subtle kick that balances the sweetness of the brown sugar.
Let the bacon crackers cool slightly before serving to allow the caramelized sugar to set and create the perfect texture.
