<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBacon makes everything better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Okay, too much bacon is bad for your health. But, an occasional bite here and there can be a boost to your emotional health (it's on the internet now so it must be true!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These Bacon Wrapped Dates are so easy to make ahead for a party, just fill and wrap the dates then store in the fridge until party time. Heat them up just before guests begin arriving and they will be a wonderful welcome to your gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medjool Dates versus Other Dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This recipe calls for Medjool dates. They are not the same as regular pitted dates found with the dried fruit in your grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- fresh not dried: <\/strong>Medjool dates are harvested and sold fresh and should be in the produce aisle and are better stored in the fridge. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- consistency<\/strong>: because they are fresh they are softer than the dried varieties<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- taste<\/strong>: Medjool are sweeter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- size<\/strong>: Medjool dates are significantly larger<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
That last reason is one of the main reasons to go out of your way to get the Medjool for this instance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you can only find the dried pitted dates, fear not<\/strong>; you can still use them. But, you probably want to cut your bacon into three pieces instead of in half and make more smaller sized appetizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
