Equipment

  • 20 toothpicks

Ingredients
  

  • 20 Medjool dates pitted
  • 10 slices bacon cut in half

Instructions
 

  • If they aren’t already pitted, slice one side and remove the pit. Keep the opening small so they hold their shape.
  • Wrap each date with a half slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
  • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between each piece.
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–25 minutes, turning once, until the bacon is crisp and caramelized.
  • Let cool slightly before serving. The sugar in the dates gets very hot.
