Carol: A number of years ago my mother and I frequented a wonderful French restaurant in Santa Barbara. We were served this appetizers and couldn't believe how addicting they are. I have served them many times with raves. I took them to a Christmas party one year and a friend of ours dubbed them "Bacon Date Things". The name just stuck. Hope you like them. BACON DATE THINGS Pitted dates Bacon Toothpicks Cut bacon into thirds, wrap a piece of bacon around a date and secure with a toothpick. Place on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven (450 degrees) and cook until crispy. Will need to turn at least once. Drain onto paper towels. These can be made the day ahead and refrigerated. I then take out and leave at room temperature and place in a serving bowl. I promise. There won't be any left. Enjoy Debbie
