BACON WRAPPED DATES

This is sooooo easy and your guests will be asking for the recipe!

YIELD: 30+/- PCS.

INGREDIENTS:

2 boxes     dried PITTED dates
6 oz. bag   slivered almonds (freeze any leftovers in an airtight container)
                Bacon strips     


DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425°

Separate dates and lay on a rimmed baking sheet sprayed very lightly with PAM

Count dates – you will need a strip of bacon that can be wrapped around the date and secured with a toothpick, so based on bacon length, cut into 3 or 4 pieces (err on the long side with the bacon so that it overlaps just a bit)

Stuff each date with 2-3 pieces of almond.  Wrap in length of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Bake until bacon is crispy – 7-10 minutes.  Transfer to paper towels to remove excess bacon grease.  Serve warm.

Note:  dates are an excellent source of potassium
