Cheese Stuffed, Bacon-Wrapped Dates

Yes, they are as good as they sound.

They are so easy to make and love, for all of your entertaining needs!

You can make them without the bacon for your veggie friends, but that's why hostesses invented cheese balls. Don't mess with the original (at least with these).

Cheese Stuffed, Bacon-Wrapped Dates

1 package dates
1 block cheese (your favorite)
1 package bacon (strips cut in half)
toothpicks!

Preheat oven to 425.
Cut hunks of cheese to the size of an almond- one for each date. Cut a slit in the side of each date and remove the pit. Stuff cheese into each date. Wrap each stuffed date with bacon (it should be almost the perfect size) and secure with a toothpick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes on a sheet pan until the bacon is cooked and crispy. EAT!!

These are so lovely because they are soft, crisp, sweet, savory, and delicious. Try them out for your Superbowl party this year! To get the original version, go to The Pioneer Woman!
