I call these 'Sweet 'n' Savory Bombs' because every party, they're gone before I even get to taste one! Only 3 ingredients, and they fly off the plate!

Bacon-wrapped dates are a delightful appetizer with roots in the Mediterranean, where dates have been a staple for thousands of years. This dish perfectly encapsulates the harmony of sweet and savory flavors, offering a delightful twist by wrapping the naturally sweet dates in crispy, salty bacon. It's incredibly easy to make with just three ingredients, yet it leaves a lasting impression that will make anyone think you’ve spent hours in the kitchen. For those who appreciate the finer things in life but don't have time to fuss over complex recipes, this one's for you.
These bacon-wrapped dates pair beautifully with a selection of cheeses for a sophisticated appetizer platter. Consider serving them alongside a creamy Brie, tangy blue cheese, or a sharp aged cheddar to further elevate the flavor profile. A light arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette or a sparkling wine also makes for a complementary pairing, enhancing the sweet-salty dynamic of the dates.
