Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Remove your dates from their package and make a small slit in one side, as if you’re opening a hoagie or sub roll. You don’t want to fully slice the date in two.
3. Remove the pits from each date.
4. Take small scoops of the blue cheese, roughly a tablespoon, and stuff them into the cavity of each date.
5. Remove the bacon from its package and slice the strips in half, width-wise.
6. Wrap each date in a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
7. Place each blue cheese-stuffed, bacon-wrapped date onto your prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
8. Bake for 25 minutes or until the bacon has fully cooked.
9. Serve warm.
