Bacon Wrapped Dates


A really quick post for a really quick appetizer. A friend gave me this recipe saying if you like sweet and salty together and people are arriving in 1/2 hour, this one is a go to. The combination seemed "different" to me but I had to give it a try.

8 oz. pitted dates
1/4 pkg bacon cut in half

Line a cookie pan with tin foil

Roll up each date with 1/2 slice of bacon



Place in a preheated 375 degree oven until crispy - 20-30 minutes depending on how quick your oven is. Keep checking after 20 minutes.



Really an interesting combination that I would do again.

Note: If you have a fast oven - set it to 350 rather than 375. I set mine to 375 and thought afterwards that 350 would have sufficed. StumbleUpon

We love bacon wrapped dates! I like to stuff mine with an almond and some goat cheese first. They're salty/sweet and crunchy/chewy. So addictive.

i had some on a patio last friday, along with more little bites, and it was perfection!

please convert the most people that you can to these tiny bundles of deliciousness!!!

Jen said it well: addictive.

This recipe has been around for ages (decades). Now that you've discovered it, they'll be hard to resist. I love the salty/sweet yin-yang. P.S. Your bacon looks finished to perfection.

How very 70's!!! I make a slit in mine and add a creamy goats cheese...it gets all nice and gooey!

We served these at one of our sunken City Supper Club events. They were very popular.

Hope you are doing well!

Mmm, I love bacon wrapped dates too. I've done bacon wrapped pieces of banana too for the same salty/sweet combo. The banana just melts in your mouth and the bacon is all salty and crispy around it. So good!

I like your layout, the fact that your webpage is actually a tad bit unique makes it so useful, I get fully fed up of viewing the same stuff nearly all the time. I’ve I just found this site by you Thanks a lot.
