1 box or carton of pitted, whole dates
4 oz. cream cheese
1/2 slice of bacon for each date
Pastry bag
Toothpicks
Soak toothpicks in water for about 20 minutes. Place softened cream cheese in a pastry bag. A small decorating tip is not essential, but sure helps with filling the dates. With the tip and pastry bag, squeeze a small amount of cream cheese into the end of each date. Wrap the bacon around the date and secure with a toothpick. Place filled, wrapped date on a rack over a cookie sheet. (This allows the fat from the bacon to drain away from the date.) Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until bacon is desired crispness. Turn dates over half way through cooking to allow bacon to brown evenly.
These are good hot or cold.
