Bacon-Wrapped Dates

By GratefulSea

There are many versions of this around, and this is the easiest.

Ingredients

• 16-ounce package of bacon (regular thickness, not thick cut), cut into thirds
• 8-ounce package of pitted dates

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Position oven rack in the center of the oven. Cover a cookie sheet with tin foil.

Wrap a piece of bacon around a date. Make sure the bacon seam is placed facing downward on the cookie sheet. Press firmly on the bacon-wrapped date, so it is less likely to unravel. Repeat until all of the dates are wrapped in bacon.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp. These will be HOT--let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
