Servings: 24 dates
Calories: 48kcal
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Pour dates into a bowl, set bacon on a cutting board, and pour sugar onto a separate plate, like an assembly line.
- Cut bacon into thirds, giving you a total of 24 pieces.
- Work with dates, one-by-one: start by wrapping a piece of bacon around a date and securing it with a toothpick. Then, dip bacon in sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process for all 24 dates.
- Place the baking sheet in oven and bake the dates for approximately 12 minutes, flipping half way through so bacon is cooked completely.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with additional sugar and enjoy!
