The bacon and dates in this simple yet elegant appetizer are wonderful together! My cousin whose husband was stationed in Portugal served these to rave reviews and so have I for 40 years! They are as easy as pie with only 2 ingredients and quick preparation time using round toothpicks.

1 pound Bacon Sliced
30 ea Dates Pitted
 

Instructions
 1. Slice each piece of bacon vertically in half and wrap each piece around a date; place a wooden toothpick through the bacon and date to secure.

3. Turn and broil on other side until nicely browned. Serve hot.

VARIATIONS:
