From The Kitchn: Our sister site that promotes cooking & eating at home

Bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with a baby...almond? We don't usually go for cutesy themed food at our parties, but this happens to be one of our favorite appetizers and it just goes so well with the little movie-that-could. See our recipe for Pregnant Juno Dates and find out how easy it is wrap some dates up in bacon and call it an appetizer.

OH I have had these appetizers before (we call them piggy-back dates) and they are wonderful dipped in bleu cheese!

Funny, my aunt made the date-appetizer at christmas...Only my dad liked it, tough.
(She also had cherry-tomatoes stuffed with cream cheese, which I liked *very* much)

I make the bacon wrapped dates too, but I stuff them with herbed chevre.

Am I the only one who finds the idea of bacon-wrapped anything mildly horrifying?
