Sweet and Savory Crack Recipe
This will undoubtedly be the hit of any party! It is super easy to make too. Much easier than my regular crack recipes. This is a perfect one to get started with.
What is the Best Bacon To Use
You can use any of your favorite bacon that you buy regularly. I don’t think a peppered would taste that great, but it could! So whether you go to a butcher or store just buy whatever you and your family enjoy.
Can I Substitute Saltines in Maple Bacon Crack
Of course! You could reach for any salted plain cracker. Townhouse is a good one, or even a club, it offers a buttery flavor. Or use a canned crescent roll and lay it out and flatten it, and then pile on the mixture. Bake until your dough is cooked.
How to Store Bacon Snack Crack
Because of the Bacon you will want to Store any leftovers in the fridge. If you don’t it will go bad rather fast. Just place in an airtight container and store 3-4 days in the fridge.
You can then eat this chilled or warm it up. We generally just eat cold once it chills off. You can also allow it to sit on the counter to reach room temperature for serving.
Do You Use Pancake Syrup or Real Maple Syrup
Real maple syrup is key. You will gain so much incredible flavor when you use real maple syrup. You have to remember that pancake syrup is not really the same thing as maple syrup and you would get a different flavor outcome.

Maple Bacon Crack
This maple bacon crack is a savory and sweet crack recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Bacon
- 24 Saltine Carckers
- ½ Cup Maple Syrup
- ¾ Cup Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with non stick spray.
- Cook your bacon to about 1/2 - 3/4 of the way fully cooked. You will be finishing off cooking it as it bakes in the oven, so you don't want to over cook it. You do want the end result to be a bit on the crispy side so I cooked mine to about 3/4 of the way in advance.
- Line up saltines on your baking sheet. About 4 rows of 6 across.
- Drizzle 1/4 cup of the maple syrup over the top of the saltines.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the brown sugar over top of the saltines and maple syrup.
- Sprinkle all of the bacon across the top, completely covering the saltines.
- Drizzle the remaining maple syrup over the top of the bacon.
- Sprinkle the remainder of brown sugar over the top of it all.
- Bake for about 25 minutes. The maple syrup should be bubbling around and the brown sugar will be partially melted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before cutting into pieces.
