Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Cream Cheese and Smoked Almonds

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.
