Preheat your oven: to 180°C / 350-375°F / Gas Mark 4-5.
Crackers: prepare the crackers by using a knife the cut the perforated edge and separate them into 2.
Bacon: use one cracker to measure the length of bacon needed and then cut the long strips accordingly.
Combine: place the crackers onto a heat proof wire rack in one flat layer. Then place a piece of the sliced bacon onto the top of each cracker.
Cinnamon sugar: sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top of each piece of bacon.
Oven bake: set the wire rack above a baking tray and place them into the oven on the middle shelf. Bake the crackers for 10 to 12 minutes.
To serve: use oven mitts to remove the baking tray from the oven and set it onto a heat proof surface. Then transfer the bacon crackers to a serving plate with dipping sauce. Sprinkle chopped chives over the top of them to garnish.

Note 1 - Crackers: I used 'cheds' when I make this recipe. They are a baked store bought cracker with pecorino romano crumbs on top.
Note 2 - Bacon: we want to use thin cut bacon for the recipe. This allows the bacon to cook and crisp up in the oven during the allocated cook time.
Note 3 - Cinnamon sugar: you will find this in the herbs and spices section of the supermarket. It is a sweet powdered sugar and you guessed it combines both ground cinnamon and sugar.
