Easy and delicious - just right combination of sweet from the date and salty from the bacon

A nice variation is bacon wrapped around dried prunes (pitted) or glazed cherries.

I love these (family is unsure about the whole "bacon candy" taste). But "I" love them, so they get five stars! I used almonds in some, and chopped jalapenos in others - TRY the jalapenos, it's so good!

I used smoked almonds and cooked them in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Everyone loved them.

Wonderful! This sounds wierd, but trust me - they are great. Use smokehouse flavored almonds for more flavor and this works best with cheap bacon (not too thick).

So for next time: Smaller dates (larger ones tend to make this treat way too sweet!) Instead of almond, perhaps a Kalamata olive!

Sounds strange but SO delicious. Trust me try it. You can't eat many because of the richness,but Mmmmmmm. I used smoked almonds and thin sliced bacon, so it was crunchy. Keep you eye on them constantly and I turned them 1/2 way through.

These are really good but I set off the fire alarm making them. Maybe I will use precooked bacon or a broiler pan next time.

These are better with goat cheese (or cream cheese)with the almond to add some moisture, and a little brown sugar on top of the bacon to bring out the date flavor.

I took this to a tapas party on New Year's Eve. Everyone at the party loved them. I didn't tell them what they were at first because I didn't want any preconceived ideas. They were so easy to make-I had my eleven year old make them while I made other appetizers. :) P.S. I bought the dates that were already pitted-you can get them on the produce isle.

they were a breeze to prepare and only took 25 minutes in a 350 oven. I am unsure why some thought it was tedious. i pitted the dates, put some walnuts inside and wrapped some bacon on it. pop in the oven and wait. thanks for the wonderful recipe.

I think it does need to be baked for longer than 10 min - I do it for 20 and they come out perfect! I made this appetizer twice and everyone loved it!
