This quick and easy recipe makes for a perfect appetizer or snack – and you won’t believe just how delicious they are!
Ingredients
16 oz package of bacon (we enjoy using thick-cut Hickory-smoked, but regular works just as well)
8 oz package of pitted dates
Toothpicks
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Slice the bacon strips into thirds, then wrap each piece around a date. Secure the bacon in place with a toothpick and place in a baking dish.
Once all the dates are wrapped, place them in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy.
Let cool for 5-7 minutes and enjoy!
Try these with a wine which will complement the sweetness of the date. Try to avoid bold red wines. Instead, try this with a semi-sweet white or maybe even a sparkling!
