A cracker is a flat, dry baked biscuit typically made with flour. Crackers are a frequent component of the Wallace & Gromit series alongside its complimenting food of cheese, the favourite food of Wallace. The foods will commonly be featured alongside each other as traditional cheese and crackers, frequently forming the intended cheese consumption, with Wallace only partaking in standalone crackers in A Grand Day Out, A Close Shave, and Cracking Contraptions, sometimes within the specific absence of cheese.
The crackers first debuted in A Grand Day Out as Wallace discovers a lack of cheese in the house, inspiring their journey to the Moon. These would form part of the taste testing consumption of the location's "cheese", with Wallace panicking in the duo forgetting the food and almost setting off in the Moon Rocket without it.
They also inspire the creation of the 525 Crackervac in Cracking Contraptions, which vacuums up crumbs with its built-in cracker sensor. This in turn causes it to act hostile against Wallace taking away a packet of crackers it was trying to contain, causing Gromit to take action and stop it.

Trivia[]
- The design of the crackers in the series resembles that of Jacobs' cream crackers in look and packaging, likely inspiring it being the focus of one of Wallace & Gromit's first ads.
- In Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, despite the crackers using their regular design, a packet of crackers with different packaging closer to that of Jacob's can be seen in Wallace's bedroom.
