Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay bacon out flat on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes or until the bacon is cooked but not yet crisp. The bacon needs to be flexible enough to wrap around the date.
- Cut each piece of bacon in half. Wrap a half a piece of bacon around one the half pieces of date, overlapping just a little bit. Secure the bacon by inserting a toothpick.
- Bake the bacon-wrapped dates at 350 degrees until the bacon is crispy, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
Tips & Notes
Storing dates is easy – they don’t require refrigeration and have a long shelf life.
