Sweet and Savory Bacon Crackers

This recipe requires only four ingredients and a little patience.  What can be better than a buttery club cracker, topped with sweet brown sugar or savory parmesan cheese, and wrapped in BACON?!  Is this a trick question?  Get in my belly!  They are in my oven as I type this, and they smell amazing.  Can't wait to try one (or more).  The recipe in The Pioneer Woman's Holiday cookbook, and her recipe for the same online contradict eachother a bit.  Online it calls for 1 TSP of brown sugar and/or parmesan cheese, and in the book it calls for 1 TBSP.  That's a big difference.  I personally opted for the 1 TSP.  Here's the easy recipe!

Sweet and Savory Bacon Crackers
As adapted from The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays

36 Club Style Crackers (1 sleeve)
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Brown Sugar
1 lb bacon (regular thickness)

Preheat oven to 250.  Line crackers on a cooling rack placed on a baking sheet.  Top each cracker with either 1 TSP of parmesan or brown sugar.  I did a mix of both!  Cut the pound of bacon in half, and wrap one half of a piece of bacon around each cracker, making sure to cover the cracker as much as possible.  Bake at 250 for 2 hours.  Serve warm.  (On the Pioneer Woman cooking blog, she states that you can take the baked crackers and freeze them for a later date.  Just thaw them and pop them in an oven to warm for about 10 minutes.)  Enjoy!!
