How To Make Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates

Remove the pits from the dates if they haven’t been removed already. Stuff them with a small piece of cream cheese and a pecan.

Tip: Cut the cream cheese into pieces when it is cold from the refrigerator.

Wrap half a piece of bacon around each one and secure with a toothpick. Only 4 ingredients, but these Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates have so much flavor. Cooking the dates really softens them and brings out their sweetness which is a great contrast to the crispy, salty bacon.

Place them on baking rack placed on a baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. They need about 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven for the bacon to get crispy.

Switch out the cream cheese with goat cheese or blue cheese if you like.

Storage

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
