Description

Ingredients

• 24 pitted dates
• 8 pieces of bacon, cut into thirds
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• Toothpicks

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Pour dates into a bowl, set bacon on a cutting board, pour syrup into a separate bowl, pour sugar into a separate bowl, kind of like an assembly line.
• Cut bacon into thirds, giving you a total of 24 pieces. Or, if bacon is already somewhat small in size, cut bacon in half and add 4 extra slices.
• Work with dates, one by one: start by wrapping a date in a slice of bacon and securing it with a toothpick. Then, dip bacon in syrup and cover it in sugar and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Repeat this process for all 24 dates.
• Place baking sheet in oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, flipping half way through so bacon is cooked completely.
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with additional sugar and enjoy!
