Fall is here, and that means it’s time for all the cozy flavors that make us feel warm and content. These Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Dates are a perfect example! With the sweetness of dates, the crunch of our Fortune Favors The Classic pecans, and the savory goodness of bacon, they’re a delicious snack or appetizer for any gathering. Toss in a little BBQ seasoning, and you've got a bite-sized treat that’s hard to resist. Want to kick it up a notch? Add some brie or goat cheese for an extra creamy touch.
Ingredients
24 Pitted dates
24 pieces of Fortune Favors The Classic (half The Spicy for a surprise?)
12 slices of raw bacon
24 Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400° F.
Lightly spray a foil lined sheet tray with cooking spray.
Insert a pecan half into each date. Cut each bacon strip in half. Wrap the bacon around a stuffed date and then secure with a toothpick.
Arrange the dates, seam side down on the sheet tray and then dust with BBQ seasoning. Cook for 15 mins or until the bacon is crispy to your liking!
BONUS: If you're feeling extra fancy, add brie or goat cheese in each piece :-)
