- 2 Tbsp. Smoked Paprika
What would a party be without a bacon appetizer? Seriously, bacon makes everything better!
Any cracker will do, even saltines but I use this brand of Pretzel crackers because of the flavor and that covering of salt which enhances the bite. Club crackers are good too!
Glazed Bacon Pretzel Crackers
Ingredients
- 1 box of your favorite crackers Buttery flavors are best
- 1 (12 oz.) pkg. of bacon
- About 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. Smoked Paprika Optional
Instructions
- Line a large baking pan with foil. Then place a cooling rack on the pan.
- Place the crackers side by side onto the cooling rack.
- Cut each slice of bacon into pieces which will fit on each cracker. (We used thick sliced bacon and were able to get 4 crackers per slice of bacon)
- Sprinkle a generous amount of brown sugar on top of each bacon topped cracker.
- Now sprinkle with the smoked paprika.
- Bake in preheated oven at 350° until the bacon is done, about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Nutrition
I use thick sliced bacon but thin will work too. You will cut your bacon into small pieces so they will fit onto the cracker which means you only need about a half pound of bacon for a sheet pan full of crackers. Keep in mind the bacon will shrink while cooking so if it is hanging off the edge of the cracker a little bit that will be okay.

Tip
Oven temps vary depending on your stove. About 15-20 minutes in a 350° oven will crisp the bacon and melt the brown sugar just enough to create a sweet glaze. They may appear slightly burned because of the toasted brown sugar. They are perfectly sweet and salty with a cracker crunch! Delicious party food!
These would be gone so fast in our house… I’d have to make them when everyone was out and then hide them until party time!
OMG I’m drooling! Thanks for joining us at the To Grandma’s house we go link party, see you next week!
These would be gone as soon as they cooled at my house (or maybe even still hot). My kids love bacon and crackers, I can’t wait to try these.
These would not last 10 minutes with our family, that is for sure!
Like everyone else, I was hooked when you mentioned bacon! These look like a tasty treat and it’s great to have something savory to go along with all the sweets over the holidays. Putting these on my to make list.
Okay, if I didn’t already love you, I definitely would now. Bacon makes everything better and since you included carbs, well, you’re pretty much my new hero. I can’t wait to try this awesome appetizer. It totally counts as a weeknight dinner, right? 😉

These look so delicious!
As Francine, one of the competitors on Jeff Foxworthy’s American Baking Competition, said, “Everything’s better with a little pig.” I bet these would great with a little maple…
