I made 3 kinds - blue cheese, almond, blue cheese & almond. I am a huge nut fan, love the crunch they deliver to any dish, but I preferred the blue cheese version best, followed by the combo, and last just the almond. I do wish I had been more generous with the blue cheese, though. I sprinkled VERY little brown sugar across the top, but would've preferred without - the date provided enough sweetness. These were ok, but I don't think I'll ever make these again.

Very easy, simple ingredients, and yummy, yummy, yummy!!! I used the black label bacon and cut each slice in half. Feta or Manchega cheese would be good if you don't like blue. I ate them cold out of the fridge the next day- even better!!!! I didn't use any other ingredients like vinegar or sugar; it was perfect just like this! The only caveat: Make sure you have plenty people to eat them, or otherwise you WILL eat them all by yourself.

These are all the rage - the smokey flavor of bacon with the sweet date and the tangy blue cheese just can't be beat!

This is an amazing simple recipe. However, I used Parmesan cheese which i think is a better flavor combo then Bleu Cheese. Also watch the bacon closely because i think that it tastes a little better with the bacon softer than crispier.

These are wonderful! My boyfriend made these and put one almond inside the date with the cheese. We served them at a party and there weren't any left!

Wow. I made a test batch of ten of these tonight, and like the other reviewer, they are all gone. I sliced the blue cheese from a block, and used cheaper, thin bacon. I had thick cut bacon on hand but the thin stuff was perfect. Do bake on a rack and monitor their progress. Remove the toothpicks before presenting. The perfect combination of salty, tangy and sweet!

A family introduced me to the dates wrapped in bacon close to 10 years ago - How unique I thought it was! I have never seen it at any restaurants here in Mass. It is such a Huge hit everytime I make them (and I get requests to make them at every holiday!) I cant wait to make them with various cheeses and almonds. I have used the Maple flavored bacon at times but will definitely try plain bacon with brown sugar! Thank You!

These are sooo good! 1 pound of bacon cut in half gave me 24 strips so therefore only made 24 servings versus the 32 listed. I stuffed them with goat cheese instead of blue and they were yummy.

Great party treat!! I served these at my SuperBowl party- everyone asked for the recipe. I used feta since my crowd wasn't a blue cheese fan and I also put an almond in each date. I wrapped the dates in bacon and then sprinkled some brown sugar on each one prior to putting them in the over. It also might have helped that I asembled them the night before so they had time to marinate in the bacon and brown sugar. I will definately make them again!

I followed the directions exactly, using a broiler pan. I turned them over after 15 minutes and thought to myself, "these look done now". I should have trusted my instincts. After 15 more minutes they were blackened to the point of being unedible. Did anyone else have this problem?

This was different. I really enjoyed the new taste. The recipe itself is excellent, no need to add any more ingredients.

I put almonds in the middle instead of the blue cheese and this was a great app. Everyone RAVED about it. I would probably roll the bacon in a little brown sugar to give it a nice glaze. This is was a popular one!
