Game Day Provisions
The Technique
Honey-Peanut Bacon Crackers
When bacon stars front & center in a line up of tailgating snacks, football fanatics go wild squealing with delight. Smoky strips of goodness wrapped around crisp crackers become something quite magical & pair perfectly with game day cocktails, sandwiches & an array of other fan-favorite foods. Honey-Peanut Bacon Crackers are a bit different from similar ideas by starting with a pretzel crisp. Honey sweetens the play action & roasted peanuts deliver a nutty bite when it gets down to crunch time. Bake a batch today & prepare a double recipe. These tempting morsels won’t make it past the half.

The Basic Fundamentals
These will go fast & the recipe easily doubles. Prepare as directed & bake two pans at one time.
36 pretzel crackers

1 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp finely chopped unsalted, roasted peanuts
Freshly ground pepper & crushed red pepper flakes
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Wrap each cracker with bacon & place seam side down on a lightly greased rack over a foil-lined half sheet pan. Brush the honey over the bacon & sprinkle with the peanuts pressing lightly to adhere. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper & crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Bake 1 1/2 hours or until the bacon is crisp. Cool completely.
