Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Crackers

Crunchy, savory, and addictive — air fryer bacon-wrapped crackers (sometimes called 'pig candy crackers') pair a buttery cracker and a dab of seasoned cream cheese with crisp bacon. They're a three-ingredient party snack that always disappears.
The air fryer crisps the bacon fast while the cracker stays crunchy. Make a big tray for game day or the holidays.
Ingredients
Instructions
Make the filling
Stir the onion powder into the softened cream cheese.
Assemble
Spread a teaspoon of the cream cheese on each cracker, then wrap each in a half-slice of bacon, tucking the ends under.
Air fry
Place seam-side down in a single layer and air fry at 360°F for 7–9 minutes, until the bacon is golden and crisp.
- Use thin bacon so it crisps in the short cook time.
- Place seam-side down so the bacon stays wrapped.
- Add a sprinkle of brown sugar for a sweet-salty 'pig candy' version.
