Ingredients
- 1 lb. Indiana Kitchen thick-cut bacon cut in half
- 12 - 16 oz. (about 2 dozen) Medjool dates pitted
- 24 toothpicks
- parchment paper and baking sheet
Servings: bites
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- (Make sure your dates are pitted--you don't want your guests breaking a tooth! If not pitted, make a small incision in each date and remove the pit.)
- Wrap each date in a half-slice of bacon and pin securely with a toothpick. Arrange on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 15 minutes. Then turn dates over, baking for another 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Dates can be made a day in advance and refrigerated.
Recipe Notes
Larger dates, about thumb-sized, work better.
If desired, dates can be stuffed with a little something extra, like goat cheese, cream cheese, almonds or pecans!
