Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Dates

Bacon-Wrapped Dates

Ingredients

  • 1 Package Thick-Cut Bacon - Cut each piece into thirds
  • 1 Package Large Dates
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
  2. Wrap a piece of bacon around a date. Press firmly on the bacon wrapped date - I also stick a tooth pick in them to keep them secure together.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

This recipe is one of my favorites!  I get requests to make these all the time and they get gobbled up in no time.  I will admit the first time my husband tried to get me to eat one I had no clue what a date was!  Ever since I got the recipe from our friend, I have been in love!  The chewiness of the date mixed with the crispness of the bacon is the perfect combination.  In case you are clueless like me, a date is like a giant raisin usually by the dried fruit or raisins in the grocery store, in dry good not refridgerated.  These are so simple to make and I usually have the two ingredients on hand!

    it doesn’t look like a whole strip of bacon on each date, how big a piece of bacon do you cut?

      I use the thick cut bacon (or center-cut) cut into thirds! You get more dates for your bacon that way :)

      Just updated the recipe – thanks!
