   Cut each strip of bacon into 2 pieces.

5. 5

   Wrap one piece of cut bacon around each date.

6. 6

   Either secure with a pre-soaked toothpick or just place them seam side down on a rimmed baking tray.

   If you need to make these prior to serving, just assemble and refrigerate until ready to bake.
