Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 16 fresh or dried pitted dates, such as Medjool

  • 16 smoked almonds

  • 8 thick strips applewood-smoked bacon, halved crosswise

  • Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil; place a roasting rack onto foil.

  2. Cut a slit in each date; place almonds inside slits. Press dates together to close slits. Wrap each date with 1 half piece bacon. Place dates on rack.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately with toothpicks. Dates will be hot inside.

REYNOLDS KITCHENS TIP:

Aluminum foil is a must for roasting the appetizer. It collects any drippings from the bacon for a quick cleanup at the end. To line the pan fast, turn pan upside down and press sheet of aluminum foil around it. With aluminum foil, you can use either shiny side up or dull side up. Remove the aluminum foil. Turn over; drop foil inside. Crimp edges and you're ready to cook.
