• Bacon Wrapped Crackers – If you prefer you can wrap the bacon around the crackers and top with brown sugar.

• Serving – This recipe is great for an appetizer, but you can also serve as a side to your favorite soup recipe.
• Seasoning – Top the crackers with ranch or parmesan cheese for added flavor.
• Cream Cheese – Spread cream cheese on the crackers and then top with bacon and brown sugar. This is a great twist on a delicious recipe.
