Ingredients
12 Pitted dates
1/2 Cup cream cheese (or any cheese you choose - goat cheese is delicious, too)
1/2 Cup brown sugar
4 - 5 slices of bacon
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F
Slice dates in half, and open them up
Pinch off pieces of cream cheese, and place them into the center of the dates
Close the halves of the dates, roll them in brown sugar, and wrap with a half-slice of bacon
Secure each date with a toothpick
Place in baking dish
Bake for 20 minutes, or until bacon is crisp
Turn dates over after first 10 minutes for even cooking
Serve over bed of spinach drizzled with balsamic for a lovely holiday display
ENJOY!
Too funny, I posted the same thing. I stuff my dates with smoked almonds or Macadamia nuts. This is always the first thing gone of the buffet :0)
