Not only for the single ladies, this one's a real keeper. They are quick and easy to prepare and no one believed that I actually made them. People couldn't figure out what the other ingredient was besides the bacon. It was the first date with a pig that I actually enjoyed. -
My mom made these for a holiday party and everyone raved about them. She hates cooking but figured with only 2 ingredients she could handle this one. She was right... they were delicious. -
INCREDIBLY good! I didn't have enough bacon, so I made the mistake of slicing the bacon in half lengthwise and using 1/4 piece on each date. Not a good idea. A full 1/2 is necessary to cover the date and allow for shrinkage.**Next time I may precook the bacon slightly, wrap it around the date and continue baking until crisp. This will speed up the baking time. Thanks cfletcher! Made for Tgiving. -
I have this recipe from another source. However, there is one difference...stuff each date with a whole pecan. This appetizer is always a hit! -
Nice and easy. I didn't even use toothpick and placed seam side down for cooking which sealed the edge nicely.

Love to try new recipes......this website is the best ! I have tried several others but always end up coming back here ! It's now one of my favourites....and the first place I go for any meal suggestions !
I tend to use recipes as guidelines rather than the exact way of doing cooking. Cooking should be fun and experimental...at least I think so...to give you something a bit different every time you make a recipe. I know that many of my recipes never turn out the same way twice....if they do then I did something wrong!
