I honestly cannot think of a better appetizer than bacon wrapped dates. It’s the perfect combo of salty and sweet, plus when you stuff your dates with creamy goat cheese it is seriously HEAVEN. I also added some walnuts for crunch and then some sage for brightness. It really doesn’t get better than this right here.
