Bacon-wrapped Dates.
That's just it… the recipe is that simple!
If you're a stickler for details, here they come: cut the bacon strips in half, wrap the (pitted) date and skewer it with half a toothpick. Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 15-25 minutes, depending on the temperature. Watch them because they take a while to go crispy, but then they can char quickly. Serve warm. Uh, almost forgot… make sure you make a ton of these, because they just FLY!! Get your kids to help, even tiny kids can wrap these… but make sure you have a lot of extra dates!
