BACON-WRAPPED DATES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Stuff each date with 1 to 2 almonds. Wrap each date with half a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Bake, turning the dates halfway through so the bacon is evenly cooked, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes, flipping each wrapped date after 8 minutes. If frozen, bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes; flip, and bake 10 minutes more. Transfer wrapped dates to paper towels to drain. Serve with toothpicks.

BACON AND DATE APPETIZER

Steps:

• Put one or two almonds inside date and wrap with 1/2 slice of bacon.

• I used a deep fryer at 350º and fried them for a couple minutes.
• You could also pan fry (or Wok) until bacon cooked.
• Some have tried baking at 425º until bacon cooked – but this method takes longer and bacon not cooked as evenly.

STUFFED DATES WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Slice dates in half, halfway through, and remove pit.
• Using a teaspoon, stuff date with cream cheese.
• Wrap with a half slice of bacon and secure using a pick.
• Add to baking dish and bake 30 minutes.
• Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.

BACON WRAPPED DATES WITH CREAM CHEESE - APPETIZER

Steps:

• Remove seeds from dates if necessary. Stuff each date with cream cheese. Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon, overlapping bacon ends, around stuffed date and hold together by spearing through the date with a toothpick.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange stuffed and skewered dates on a cookie sheet or a large pan. If you have a metal rack for the pan, it's even better for keeping extra grease off dates.
• Bake until bacon is brown and crispy, about 30 minutes. You will need to turn each bacon-wrapped date a couple of times during baking, so it does not blacken where it touches the pan - dates have such a high sugar content, they may burn if left in one position.
• Drain dates on paper towels for a minute. And serve warm with a cool martini !
