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
