Equipment

  • Toothpicks
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 12 dates pits removed
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 6 slices bacon cut in half

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Soak your toothpicks in a cup of water (this will help to keep them from splitting while baking).
  • Next, remove the pits from your dates (skip if you have pitted dates). Stuff with a small amount of cream cheese (I used a little more than a teaspoon in each).
  • Wrap with a slice of bacon that has been cut in half and poke a toothpick through.
  • Place on a baking tray. I lined mine with parchment paper (not wax paper) for an easier clean up.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until bacon is nicely browned. Turn about half way through. Use paper towels to soak up any extra bacon grease once cooled.
