Scale
- 35 rectangle crackers (Townhouse, 1 sleeve)

- 8 slices thick cut bacon, cut into fourths
- 1 tbsp sweet BBQ rub
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- Cut cold cream cheese into thin slices and place one slice on each cracker.

- Cut each slice of bacon into fourths.
- Top each piece of cream cheese with sliced bacon pieces. Sprinkle each piece of bacon lightly with brown sugar.
- Top brown sugar with a slice of pickled jalapeño.

Notes
Use cold cream cheese for easier slicing. Adjust BBQ rub and brown sugar amounts to taste. Letting the crackers rest after baking helps the cream cheese firm up for easier handling.
