These are great, but instead of blue cheese I put ricotta cheese. I put it in a zip lock bag and then cut a tiny corner off and use it like a piping bag. This is like the one served at our favorite tapas spot.

I've always ordered these at one of my favorite tapas restaurants here in Chicago. So this past weekend I decided to make some for a cocktail party I was hosting. Instead of blue cheese, I filled the dates with slivered almonds and baked them for 20 minutes in a 450 degree oven. They turned out crispy and delicious. A HUGE hit with my guests.

Fantastic. I use precooked bacon-1/2 strip per date. I use the toaster oven. Much less fat. Also feta cheese is good as well. For those who do not eat meat you can omit the bacon and add an almond or pecan.

You must use a broiler pan to let the grease run off otherwise you have a real mess. I added slivered almonds to the blue cheese and coated the bacon with a layer of brown sugar prior to cooking. The brown sugar cuts down the salty flavor of the bacon. Guests had lots of "mmmm's" while chewing them up! Good cocktail party munchie.

These were so good and unique! Everyone that tried them liked them. I don't think I used enough blue cheese, though. Next time I will REALLY stuff these guys.

This is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" recipes! So simple, delicious and different! I love them with cheese (the gorgonzola idea is great); when I do them with almonds, I roll the bacon in dark brown sugar before baking. Thank you! I am always on the hunt for something a little different in appetizers!!

I made these for a party and they went quickly. The blue cheese was good, but I had them with almonds before and they were slightly better.

I stuffed the dates with smoked almonds and blue cheese, then drizzled a red wine reduction over them just before serving. Sooooo yummy!!

We had these at a Christmas party, so I had to try them at home. Delicious! I did find that cooking time, in my oven at least, needed to be about 10 minutes longer. Use a broiler pan so that all the grease from the bacon is drained away. Gorgonzola cheese is great in these!

These tasty bites were such a hit the first time I made them....I am making them again for New Years. The combination of sweet, tangy and salty is the best. They took a little longer in the oven to get the bacon toasty brown.

These are absolutely heavenly! I did a test-run before the party... my guess is they'll be gorgeous with a champagne cocktail or a nice white wine (even a Chardonnay might be good). I tried some with Old Amsterdam cheese (like Gouda) and some with almonds - both turned out great! I used Medjool dates, which are very plump and rich. Also, I found that there was no real need to use a toothpick - the bacon stayed wrapped by itself. Lastly, I baked them on a broil pan so the bacon grease had a place to drip into. I can't wait to serve these to my guests! :)

I am a terrible cook, but this recipe was easy to follow and a tremendous success at the party I brought them to. I had to hide some of them to share with some friends that were coming later. Good stuff!

These were good, but the bacon wrapped dates stuffed with almonds were by far the bigger hit at the party ... even the blue cheese fanatics prefered the "crunch" of the almond stuffed version. Good, but will stick to the other (which were easier to work with as well).

The blue cheese is a very nice twist. I feel it is better than Parmasian-Regianno cheese
