Tailgating - Bacon Wrapped Dates
Image From foodnetwork.com
24 Medjool dates
24 Marcona almonds
12 slices thick cut bacon
Ensure dates are pitted. Slide almond in center of date.
Wrap a half slice of bacon around each date, overlapping slightly.
Secure bacon with a toothpick and place on rimmed baking sheet lined with silpat and with a wire rack over it.
Bake in 425 degree oven for a total of 18 minutes. If you don't use a wire rack, make sure to flip them over at the 11 minute mark so all sides bake evenly.
Remove from the oven and drain on paper towel.
Store leftovers in fridge in tightly sealed container for two to three days.
