BACON WRAPPED DATES WITH ALMONDS



Bacon Wrapped Dates With Almonds image

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise...THESE ARE WONDERFUL. They are always the very first thing to go at a party. When I catered I always told my customers to order 2-3 times more of these than anything else. Most people expect scallops but are pleasantly surprised by the sweet wonderful flavor inside. A combination of sweet, crunchy, salty and smoky is a real winner! You won't be sorry you went out on a limb to try these. You can prep ahead of time, freeze and then pull them out of the freezer and bake right before the party.

Tips:

Prep your dates: Choose plump, fresh dates for the best texture and flavor. Remove the pits from the dates using a sharp knife or a dedicated date pitter. Soften the cream cheese: Bring the cream cheese to room temperature before using to make it easier to work with. You can microwave it for a few seconds or let it sit out for 30 minutes. Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings for your bacon-wrapped dates. Try using dried fruits like cranberries or apricots, nuts like walnuts or pecans, or even a savory filling like crumbled sausage or chorizo. Wrap the dates tightly: When wrapping the dates with bacon, make sure to wrap them tightly so that the bacon stays in place during cooking. You can use toothpicks to secure the bacon if needed. Cook the dates until crispy: Cook the bacon-wrapped dates in a preheated oven or air fryer until the bacon is crispy and the dates are slightly softened. This usually takes around 15 minutes. Serve with a dipping sauce: Bacon-wrapped dates are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with a dipping sauce for added flavor. Try using a sweet and tangy sauce like honey mustard or a spicy sauce like sriracha.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with cream cheese and almonds are a simple yet elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a tasty snack, bacon-wrapped dates are a delicious and crowd-pleasing choice.
