Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 24 Marcona almonds, toasted (See Recipe Notes)
  • 24 dried, pitted dates
  • 12 slices thick-cut bacon, cut in half (roughly 5-inch pieces)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Stuff an almond into each date. Wrap each date in half-slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Stick the toothpick through the date closer to one end, so as not to run into the almond in the middle.
  • Place dates on the baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning them over after halfway through, until the bacon is fully cooked and crispy. Baking time may be slightly longer or shorter depending on thickness of the bacon. Serve immediately.
