I love this recipe. Added about 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne to the brown sugar and coat the bacon wrapped date in it before baking. I also pre-cook the bacon for a few minutes in the microwave to remove a lot of the fat because I like my bacon crispy. I use a pan with a rack so the bacon grease falls off. Yummy.

I really liked this recipe. The main thing I need to give feedback is to use a rimmed baking sheet. The bacon grease fell off my sheet onto the oven heating element and caught on fire. Not what you want the house to smell like with guests coming over! I will be making these again WITH a rimmed sheet.

These are incredible, I've emade these for some time and add cheddar cheese slivers to the center of the dates before wrapping and baking! Everyone loves these!

OK, I feel fully qualified to rate this recipe as I've been making it and its prune sibling for the last 20 or so years for 'drinks' parties. They are simply fantastic little appetizers (either date or prune version), with the sweet, plump juiciness counterpointed by the smoky, crisp, slightly fatty bacon. I will have no party without them!
