pitted dates
1
pound
blue cheese
4
ounces
sliced bacon, cut in half
1
pound
 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  Slice dates in half and open them up. Pinch off pieces of blue cheese and place them into the center of dates. Press date halves together to close. Wrap each date with a half-slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Arrange in a baking dish or on a baking sheet with sides to catch any grease.
  Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp, 30 to 40 minutes. Turn dates over after the first 20 minutes for even cooking.
