Makes 30 to 40 dates, depending on the thickness or how many slices you have in a package
Recipe Notes
Use regular sliced bacon and not the thick variety, otherwise it would take too long to cook and might burn or the date would shrink too much.
For variety, you can stuff the dates with almonds first and then wrap with bacon
