All you need is 10 minutes of hands-on time. Begin by pitting the dates, then stuff each date with a whole almond. Wrap each date with a slice of thick cut bacon and then secure it with a toothpick so the bacon stays intact.
Place the dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the bacon wrapped dates over and roast for 15 more minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the fat has been rendered. Serve these delicious appetizers while they’re still hot!
Tip: For a creamy filling, you can stuff the dates with a teaspoon of cashew cream in place of almonds.
