Show up at Friendsgiving this year with a plate of these bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese (A.K.A. bites of heaven) and everyone will ask you when you found the time to go culinary school! Creamy goat cheese and savory bacon mixed with sweet, sugary dates makes for a complex and exquisite flavor that will rival any five-star restaurant! With three simple ingredients and thirty minutes, you’ll have a deluxe and delicious appetizer that will have absolutely everyone impressed!
P.S. For a vegan/vegetarian version, you can use soy bacon and replace the cheese with almonds!
These babies go fast, so we recommend doubling or even tripling the recipe if you’re serving for a large crowd! Drooling yet?

I'm making the dates and they have already baked for over 16 minutes on 425 and still not brown on the bottom. Are you sure these are supposed to be baked and not broiled?
Hi Donna, we baked as described in the directions, so broiling may help you achieve that crispy golden brown texture you are looking for depending on your oven.
can you make these ahead of time, then reheat when ready?
Vicki, we recommend making them fresh to enjoy the bacon and cheese at its maximum deliciousness! However, if needed refrigerating properly and reheating should be fine!
These are delicious! The first time I cut the slices of bacon in half, opposite way you did (I misread the directions and consulted the pictures after, lol). My bacon wasn't as crisp. The second time I cut the pieces I half long ways and the bacon browned up. Yummy!
So glad you enjoyed these, Jennifer!
How do you do the brown sugar? Sprinkle on top, roll, etc?
Hi Bonnie! We sprinkled the brown sugar on top with our fingers.

Making these for family Christmas day!!
Have you ever made these with sharp white cheddar? Would it work? I would like to make some for New Year's Eve.
Hi Cheryl! We have not, but that sounds delicious! Maybe do a small test batch and see how they turn out. We would love to know!
these bacon wrapped stuffed dates are so delicious I had them in a restaurant as an expensive appitizer they were stuffed with Feta cheese but I did them with goat cheese and I liked it better.
Bacon takes about 18 minutes to crisp. Don't take out of oven till bacon is crisp. These are phenomenal
