Bacon-Wrapped Blue Cheese Stuffed Dates

These sweet, savoury bacon-wrapped bundles are also called Devils on Horseback and are a perfect snack to serve with almost any boozy beverage. You can also make these, before you head out camping, and roast them up on an open fire. It seems counterintuitive, but make sure you use thinly sliced bacon to wrap the dates. Thick sliced bacon won’t render out and you’ll be left with an unsatisfyingly chewy bundle of cheese and dates after you cook them.
