Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Dates: A Fun & Tasty Treat!

If you’re looking for an appetizer that’s a little bit indulgent and a whole lot delicious, these bacon-wrapped stuffed dates are about to be your go-to! They’re sweet, savory, crunchy, and creamy all at once—and surprisingly wholesome compared to your typical party snacks. With just a handful of simple ingredients, you’ll have a batch of crowd-pleasers ready in no time.

Tip: Make a double batch. These tasty bites vanish fast!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Serves 24 (or fewer if you can’t stop at just one)

• 12 strips of uncured bacon (pork, please!)
• 24 dates (opt for the pitted kind for easy stuffing)
• ½ cup goat cheese
• 24 walnut halves
• 24 toothpicks

Let’s Get Wrapping!

1. Prep Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, slice each bacon strip in half width-wise (so you’ve got 24 mini bacon strips).
2. Stuff Those Dates: Pop out the pit from each date if needed. Then, fill each one with a teaspoon of creamy goat cheese and a crunchy walnut half. Give it a little squish so everything stays together.
3. Wrap ‘n Roll: Take a piece of bacon and wrap it snugly around each stuffed date. Use a toothpick to secure it and place it on your baking sheet. (Pro tip: Want to save time on party day? Prep these the night before and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.)
4. Bake & Devour: Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden. Serve them hot and watch them disappear!
