Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Cream Cheese and
Smoked Almonds
Jennifer found and served this recipe for
Thanksgiving 2008. They are addictive!
18 (1 by
1/4-inch) pieces cream cheese
18
pitted dates
18
smoked whole almonds
6 slices
bacon cut crosswise into thirds
18
wooden toothpicks
Heat the
oven to 400 degrees F. Stuff 1 piece of cheese and 1 almond into each date,
then wrap one piece of bacon around each date and secure bacon with a toothpick
if desired. Arrange dates, bacon seam down and 1 inch apart in a shallow baking
pan. Bake 5 minutes, then turn dates over with tongs and bake until bacon is
crisp, 5 to 6 minutes more. Drain on a paper towel or parchment. Serve
immediately.
