made these as appetizer for a birthday party I cooked for - there's a few recipes out there, but basically:

• 1 package bacon (ideally, 16 strips)

• 16 dates, pits removed

• 4 oz gorgonzola cheese (more or less, however you like it)

• two sharp wooden toothpicks per date

Preparation:

preheat oven to ~375 F.

cut each date down to the pit, lengthwise, on one side & remove the pit. pack the insides w/ cheese, tightly wrap in bacon & fasten w/ the toothpicks.

bake in oven for approx 20 minutes, depending on how done you like the bacon.

Consume.

evidentally, i'm an idiot and cant link correctly. Actual picture.
