Rosca del Reyes and Bacon Wrapped Dates

Rosca Del Reyes and Bacon Wrapped Dates.

We're heading over to friends tonight for  Rosca Del Reyes

( http://blog.mexgrocer.com/rosca-de-reyes-mexican-tradition/ ) event. 

I also have a burning urge for Bason Wrapped Dates. Here's how I make them...

Bacon Wrapped Dates:

Here's what you'll need:

1 16 oz package of bacon

1 package of Medjool Dates

1 container of blue cheese (optional)

 Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

1. Grab main ingredients:

2. Cut the ends off the dates.

3. Squeeze the pits out of the dates, if not already pitted.

4. If using blue cheese, grab that.

5. Stuff the date with blue cheese.

 6. Cut the bacon in half once and then again in half lengthwise.
(Each piece should cover 4 dates, if done correctly)

7. Take a piece of the cut bacon and wrap it around the date.

7. Line them up on the foil covered tray. (Easier clean up!)

My husband is health conscious, therefore I am also making some Turkey Bacon ones for him. (I don't get it personally, but I do love them man and all!)

Looks a bit like bologna to me. Hmm, we'll see.

I'll add the finished product when I cook them at their house later. YUM!!!
