Prepare the crackers<\/h3>\n<p>Arrange the crackers in a single layer on the wire rack. Leave a little space between each one.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Cut and place the bacon<\/h3>\n<p>Cut each slice of bacon into thirds or fourths (depending on cracker size).<br \/>\nPlace one piece of bacon on top of each cracker (or wrap it around if using round crackers).<\/p>\n<h3>4. Add the brown sugar<\/h3>\n<p>Sprinkle about <strong>1 teaspoon of brown sugar<\/strong> on top of each bacon-topped cracker.<br \/>\nAdd a light pinch of black pepper if you like a slightly spicy contrast.<\/p>\n<h3>5.
