Another BACON recipe...But SOooo worth it!
Bacon Wrapped Dates w/ Kahlua Sauce
My friend made an awesome dinner; Scallop Chowder in Sourdough Bread Bowls with a lovely salad. YUMMY for the TUMMY!
Recently I was invited to a neighbor's for girl's night!
Good Food, Good Wine, & Good Gab!
Those invited were asked to bring one dish....
I chose an appetizer...I had been craving these yummy tidbits for a while.
Besides, I wanted to share them on the Blog for the holidays...
You will LOVE these...even if you don't like dates!
I promise :)
Almost done...SOooo Good!

Mix together the ricotta cheese, pecans and brown sugar. Place inside the pitted dates.
Wrap 1/2 piece of bacon around the filled date. Secure with a toothpick.
(I use splenda brown sugar because the dates are so sweet)
