Bacon-wrapped dates are a popular appetizer made by wrapping pitted dates in strips of bacon. The sweet, chewy texture of the dates contrasts beautifully with the salty, crispy bacon, creating a delightful flavor combination. They are often baked or grilled until the bacon is crispy and the dates are warm. These treats are commonly served at parties and gatherings, as they are easy to prepare and can be made in large batches. Bacon-wrapped dates can also be stuffed with various fillings, such as cheese or nuts, to enhance their taste and add extra texture.
