I would love this version, Madonna, because I LOVE dates. The balance of the feta and the bacon would be wonderful with the sweet dates. I look forward to making these soon.
These look very festive Madonna. I appreciate all of the tips and research. I had these years ago, but I don’t remember the cheese. Great idea. I too wish I was ready for holiday cooking. You’ve made a great start at it. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.

These are great! I’ve made them before, but not with the cheese. The feta just puts them over the top!! Addictive.
Yum! I make these with a whole almond stuffed into each date. Delicious. The cheese would be great, too. I make them up and put them in the freezer to pull out and bake as needed.
What a great idea Lorrie. I like having things in the freezer that don’t taste like freezer things. 🙂 It makes me feel organized. Thanks for the tip. Oh, and the almonds idea also.
I am surprised at the positive feedback I’ve had about dates. When I was a kid I did not care for them, but now I think they are just like candy. I hope you enjoy them.
Spectacular appetizer! I haven’t had these for years and years! And it’s been even longer since I’ve made them. I’ve had the prune version, and it’s really good — all the flavor work together. But the dates sound even better. Thanks.
Wini, I don’t know where I have been. I am the last to know of them. I guess bacon wrapped anything is popular. Thanks for stopping by. I love your take on food.

What a delicious appetizer for the holidays! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! Your recipe has been pinned to the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! Please join us again this week!
Oh my, these are right up my alley! The combination of sweet and salty sounds delish. Pinning and can’t wait to try them! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,

Yipee! I am a huge feta fan, Stilton cheese not so much and I adore the idea of cooking the bacon a litttle separately, I always do that to insure less grease and more crisp.
Gina, I hope you make it and enjoy it. I am glad you agree about precooking the bacon. It just makes for a nicer outcome. Thank you so much for stopping by.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.
These should be real crowd-pleasers for your holiday get-together. The dates give it a nice twist on a classic.

Thanks Sam. I don’t eat much bacon, but every once in a while…..
I would love this version, Madonna, because I LOVE dates. The balance of the feta and the bacon would be wonderful with the sweet dates. I look forward to making these soon.
I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about them. When I was younger I did not care much for them, but now I love when it is date season.

Penny, I just saw a version with water chestnuts I may give them a try. Thanks for stopping by, I love your input.

Thanks Mimi. The feta is salty that I think balances the sweetness.
Oh my, Madonna…bacon, dates and cheese…heaven on a stick! I am saving this one. My family will love it! have a great week…hugs…Debbie
I hope your family enjoys them. They really are easy. Thanks for stopping by.

Wow, these sound amazing! I love the combination of sweet/salty flavors – and nice bite-sized portions.
Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you will give them a try.
Dates are my favorite fruit and I love bacon. I am adding these to my holiday list. Thank you for sharing the recipe with Make It Monday.

This is one of my all time favorite appetizers. Thanks for reminding me how much I like them, Madonna. The almond in the center sounds delicious.
You are welcome. 🙂

I like prunes, I just was not brave enough to feed them to my guests. These are salty and sweet at the same time. Thanks for stopping by.
You’ll never go wrong with Devils on Horseback (or variations on that theme). Everyone’s always happy to see them on an appetizer buffet table.
Wini, I don’t know where I have been. I am the last to know of them. I guess bacon wrapped anything is popular. Thanks for stopping by. I love your take on food.
Oh, Madonna, these look so good! I love the combination of sweet and salty, and I LOVE dates! Pinning these right now!
I hope you like them Amy. Dates and bacon makes me smile. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you.
Yum, I wouldn’t mind these for dinner!
Chris, I ate way too many of these for my own good. I am going to have to find something low-cal to off set my indulgences. Maybe one of your salads.
