Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Dates

INGREDIENTS:

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

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Cover pan with aluminum foil.

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.

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!

  • I would have never thought of wrapping the dates in bacon, but this sounds really appealing. I am trying it over the weekend.

    • 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!

  • I make a version of this using dry figs, stuff with goat cheese and wrap in procuitto or pancetta and bake. SOoooooo good!!
