They never last very long whenever we share them! But should you need to store them, they are okay at room temperature for a couple of hours. You can refrigerate them for longer – about 3 days. You can heat them up slightly again in the oven if you want.
Actually, yes! Prepare the recipe as directed and allow the crackers to cool completely. Place the crackers in a large ziptop bag or airtight freezer-safe container for up to one month.

Really enjoyed these! Thanks for the recipe. I made 3 different kinds, this one with the sugar on top, the other 2 were under the bacon- parmesan and cream cheese. The cream cheese was our least favorite, it was rather plain.
I am going to try for a New Year dance. I want to also, make with cheese. I just follow same instructions, its justvcheese not brown sugar. I will try both. My first attempt. I will need to make during NY day for dance at night will theyvdo ok
Try them on a pellet grill if you have one. As good as they are in the oven, they’re better with a little smoke in the flavor.
250 seems kind of low even if it’s for an hour
Do they have to be Club Crackers? Not sure what they are?
Technically, you could use almost any kind of crackers you like or have on hand.
Last time I bought club crackers ( 4 months ago) the entire box of crackers were crumble up. Can I use any type of crackers for this recipe
Yes, you can use whatever crackers you like or have on hand.
Can I make this in the Airfrier?
Yes! Depending on how fast your air fryer cooks, you may need to adjust the cooking time/temp.
I made these as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. They were INHALED in minites by the whole.crew and I wished I had made more. Making again for Christmas by popular demand. This may be a new tradition!
