Bacon I am sure should be listed on one of the Wonders of the World lists, and if it’s not, it is a great injustice done to such an incredible product. You can wrap bacon around just about anything….I love the classic Bacon Wrapped Shrimp or Bacon Wrapped Scallops….I mean let’s be honest, I’d bacon wrap bacon and think it was completely normal. So when I made this dish for a cocktail party at a place I worked, I was intrigued and shocked at how good it was. I say shocked for the mere reason that I am not really a huge fan of dates. To me, they look like cockroaches, and anyone who knows me knows that I fear only ONE thing in life: insects…especially those chitinous awful NYC dwellers….but I digress…
This bite of perfection is the perfect combination of salty and sweet along with the perfect textural composition of crunchy and soft. These are a great appetizer for any party….especially Super Bowl! Super easy to make, and your guests will go wild over them!
