Bacon Wrapped Almond Stuffed Dates



Note: This is part of the Glamping episode where we featured a cocktail menu. I separated the recipes out individually to provide you with a better search option.

Dates can be stuffed with any number of different ingredients, including different cheeses. I kept this recipe very simple to complement the other menu items adding a nice salty, carmelly sweetness.

If you don't have an oven they can also be made on the grill. However you make them, there just never seems to be enough!




Bacon Wrapped Almond Stuffed Dates


Prep time: 10 minutes             
Cooking time: about 20 minutes
Serves: 4













20 dates, pitted
10 slices of your favorite bacon, cut in half (I like Beeler's nitrate free Pepper Bacon)
20 whole almonds, toasted

Place an almond in each date. Wrap each date with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a 350° oven for about 10 minutes. Turn each date over and continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Remove from the oven and let rest. Place on a serving dish and enjoy!

You can also prepare them ahead, store in the freezer and cook off when you want to use them. The cooking time will take a little longer from frozen.
