Date Night! Bacon Wrapped Dates!

Cimmiyotti's Inspired Bacon Wrapped Dates

This Sunday I had dinner at a great restaurant and tried a new combo I couldn't help but recreate. Bacon and dates, it's that simple.

What you need:
Bacon
Dried, pitted dates
Toothpicks


I cut bacon into thirds, placed the date on the end, wrapped and stuck it with a toothpick.

I cooked mine on our Traeger smoker, medium heat until the bacon was browning and getting crispy and the date begins to caramelize.
You can also BBQ or broil this.

These are great alone as appetizers; or as I first tried them, toothpick removed in an anti-pasta salad. No matter how you eat them, there is no denying they are delicious and rich!
