Hot Dates

 

 

Ingredients

• 16 dates, pitted
• 3 Cheddar cheese snack sticks, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
• 16 whole almonds
• 8 slices bacon, cut in 1/2

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Soak 1/6 toothpicks in water for about 15 minutes.
Slice open dates, and stuff each with a cube of Cheddar cheese and 1 almond. Wrap each date with a bacon slice, and secure with a toothpick.

Place wrapped dates on a baking sheet, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the oven, turning once, until bacon is evenly browned.
