Ingredients

1 pound pitted dates
4 ounces blue cheese
1 pound sliced bacon, cut in half

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for perfectly baked dates.
Carefully slice each date in half and gently open it up. Take small pieces of blue cheese and place them inside the center of each date; then, press the date halves back together to close. Wrap each stuffed date with a half-slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Arrange the wrapped dates in a baking dish or on a baking sheet with edges to catch any bacon grease.
Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is wonderfully crisp, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. For even cooking, turn the dates over after the first 20 minutes.
