The three ingredients that go into this appetizer will fill your kitchen with an irresistible aroma that draws friends and family from all corners of the house. Sweet dates and crunchy smoked almonds get wrapped in salty smoked bacon. Maybe you should make two recipes.

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut a slit in each date. Place almonds inside slits. Press together the dates to close slits. Wrap each date with a piece of bacon.

  • Line a shallow baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Add a roasting rack; place the dates on rack. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Serve immediately with toothpicks. Dates will be hot inside.

REYNOLDS KITCHENS TIP:

Aluminum foil is a must for roasting the appetizer. It collects any drippings from the bacon for a quick cleanup at the end. To line the pan fast, turn pan upside down and press sheet of aluminum foil around it. With aluminum foil, you can use either shiny side up or dull side up. Remove the aluminum foil. Turn over; drop foil inside. Crimp edges and you're ready to cook.

I've made this appetizer many time over the last 10 years and everyone - I mean EVERYone - loves it even people who think they don't like dates! One good thing: they don't have to be hot to be good as room temp works fine - so something that doesn't have to be last minute. Also good as a center instead of the nuts: marscapone cheese with a bit of seasoning of your choice. Some fillings I've used: finely grated lemon peel and a bit of honey orange peel (or juice) and a touch of cardamom and vanilla with cinnamon. Try these - it's hard to imagine that your guests won't love them. Read More

Really good and easy... but I found that I like mine with more bacon especially when my dates are bigger. Would recommend using a whole slice of bacon rather than a half since they shrink in the oven. Read More

These things are addictive! The sweetness of the dates and the salty/smokey flavor from the bacon and smoked almonds just tie this up in neat litte bite of yumminess! Seriously what's not to love? It's 3 ingredients and baked on Reynolds aluminium foil which makes cleanup a breeze afterwards! This recipe gets you out of the kitchen and in with your guests fast. These are delicious at room temperature too! Read More
