Martha takes them to the next level by stuffing the dried fruit with pungent Stilton. Ingredients 24 large dates, pitted 12 slices bacon, halved crosswise ⅓ cup crumbled Stilton cheese Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place 24 toothpicks in a small bowl filled with water; let soak 15 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fit with a wire rack; set aside. Halve dates lengthwise being careful not to cut all the way through. Place a small amount of cheese in the center of each date. Wrap a piece of bacon around each date. Secure bacon with a toothpick. Place dates on prepared baking sheet. Bake until bacon is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Variations You can also use cream cheese or cheddar to stuff the dates. Print
