This simple appetizer recipe is so easy, and the stuffed dates are SO delicious. I always make a double batch, because they disappear quickly!
Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates
Ingredients:
8 oz pitted medjool dates
30 whole, unsalted almonds
12 slices bacon, cut into thirds
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stuff dates with almonds and then wrap with a slice of bacon. Arrange in a glass baking dish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. If you like the bacon a little more golden and crisp on top, turn on the broiler (watching carefully so they don’t burn, it won’t take long) and cook just long enough for the bacon to lightly brown. Drain grease and arrange on a platter. Serve with toothpicks warm or room temperature.
They are seriously addictive!!

I’ll be right over! Those look wonderful. I’ve never seen a recipe like this one and definitely will be making this soon. YUMMMMM! So glad you shared this simple and delicious idea.
Thank you Marsha! They disappear quickly at parties and I always have someone ask for the recipe. There are a lot of variations of this app out there, but this combo is my favorite. 🙂
yum! Have you tried stuffing them with cheese? I stuff mine with Gorgonzola Dulce and wrap in bacon! So good!
Malorie, that sounds amazing!!! I’ll try that, too! 🙂
So no need to soak the dates.
No need to soak. Just make sure the pit is removed and you’re good to go!
