Baked Bacon-Wrapped Dates

 A super simple recipe, that is extremely decadent and very indulgent for a quick appetizer. The saltiness of the bacon pairs amazingly well with the sweetness of the Medjool dates. Have tried making with turkey bacon and was impressed with results, I just prefer this variation. Additional option: stuff dates with blue cheese. I know, even more ridiculous!

Ingredients:

10-15 large Medjool dates, pitted
1/2 lb hickory smoked bacon

Method:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degree.
2) Wrap individual dates with half strip of bacon, securing with toothpick.*
3)  Place on baking dish, and bake for 15 minutes, or until bacon is cooked to desired taste. Turn dates once during baking.

*Stuff with blue cheese prior to wrapping in bacon, and securing.
