Helpful Tips for the Best Bacon-Wrapped Crackers

• Use sturdy crackers: Club crackers hold up best during baking.
• Bake on a rack: This prevents greasy bottoms and promotes crisp bacon.
• Watch the final bake time: Crispness depends on bacon thickness.
• Let rest before serving: Bacon firms up as it cools.
• Store leftovers airtight: Reheat briefly to restore crispness.
