sweet, “bacony”, and cheesy.. oh my!

So this appetizer is WORTH a gander. Yes, these little guys have appeared on My Chic Life before, but the first post simply did NOT do them justice. It may not look like it, but these bacon wrapped dates are delicious! Rachel made them the other day, and I couldn’t stop at just 1 or 2 or 5…

Given that they’re so quick (10-15 minutes) and so easy (3 ingredients) to make, it’s almost shocking how good they taste too. Make them for your next gathering or your next snack…yes, that’s an order! You won’t regret it.

Lay them out on a cookie sheet (lined with foil). Place in a toaster oven 5-10 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Tip: keep a close eye on them. They can go from crisp to burnt in a minute!
