How To Make bacon wrapped dates

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2
    Slit each pitted date lengthwise to create a pocket for the herb cream cheese. Pipe or spoon about 1 teaspoon cream cheese into the cavity. Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around each date and secure with a toothpick. Place the wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet.
  • 3
    Stir together the honey, Worcestershire Sauce, and chili sauce.
  • 4
    Bake the dates for 7 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and carefully flip the dates. Brush the tops of the dates with the honey glaze. Bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip the dates. Brush the tops with the honey glaze. Bake for another 5 minutes or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy.
