Confession I grew up eating these. I am not sure who originally came up with these, but they are awesome. If you really like a sweet treat, this is for you. If you do not like a lot of cheese, use less cheese.

That is the best thing about making your own food, you can adjust your seasonings to suit you.

What Are Bacon Wrapped Crackers

Some people have a love-hate relationship with bacon. They either can’t get enough of it or they think that it’s too fatty, too salty, and just in general not worth the calories. If you’re one of those folks who has been on the fence about how to use bacon, then this recipe is for you!

These Bacon Wrapped Crackers are an easy recipe that will make your taste buds dance with joy – no matter what your feelings are about the meaty treat. The smoky flavor from the crispy bacon adds a savory quality to these crackers when served alongside cheese and wine, while also adding texture and something extra when served as an appetizer at any party

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Crackers

For the crackers, I suggest that use a butter cracker, they really enhance the flavor of the bacon. It is sort of like a buttery, salty, and cheesy thing that goes on in your mouth. Which creates a perfect bite. The bacon you will need to cut it in half otherwise you will end up with too much bacon, and it will not cook properly.

Recipe Tips:

For best results, cut your bacon in half, and use regular-cut bacon.
The cooking time will vary based on how thick your air fryer bacon is, and what type of air fryer you own.
Add some seasonings, for even more flavor! My favorites are cayenne pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.
This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Air Fryer Oven Model. This recipe will also work in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and Mealthy Lid.

What Type of Crackers To Use:

I love to use butter crackers, because they cook up so well, and provide a lot of flavors. I have also made these with pretzels, for even more flavor!

So good and easy. Be sure to use your favorite crackers for this recipe!

What Type of Bacon To Use:

For best results, just a regular cut of bacon, the thick-cut, and center cut will not work, as they will require a longer cooking time, than regular bacon.

I also love to make these with maple, pepper, or even turkey bacon! Any flavor will work! Play around with different combinations for different flavors!
