INCREDIBLY good! I didn't have enough bacon, so I made the mistake of slicing the bacon in half lengthwise and using 1/4 piece on each date. Not a good idea. A full 1/2 is necessary to cover the date and allow for shrinkage.**Next time I may precook the bacon slightly, wrap it around the date and continue baking until crisp. This will speed up the baking time. Thanks cfletcher! Made for Tgiving.

Love to try new recipes......this website is the best ! I have tried several others but always end up coming back here ! It's now one of my favourites....and the first place I go for any meal suggestions !
I tend to use recipes as guidelines rather than the exact way of doing cooking. Cooking should be fun and experimental...at least I think so...to give you something a bit different every time you make a recipe. I know that many of my recipes never turn out the same way twice....if they do then I did something wrong!
