Fox River Grove Neighbor's Big Game Snack Recipe: Bacon Dates

Fox River Grove, Illinois — If you plan it right, the snacks at your football watch party on Feb. 11 will be as much discussed as the key plays. When we asked Fox River Grove readers to submit their MVP-worthy recipes, Mark Steven Zuelke submitted this recipe:

Bacon Dates

Buy a bag of pitted DATES
Buy a pound of some really good bacon
Wrap half a slice of bacon around each date, held in place with a tooth pick
Roast in a 375° oven until that bacon is the crispness you prefer.
DONE! No dipping sauce recommended, toothpicks are already in the bite-size bites, best tasting when warm or room temp but not cold.

You can still submit recipes for appetizers, dishes or snacks to inspire others who are fourth and long and short on ideas. Be sure to tell us why your guests will do a touchdown dance over your party spread.

Just share your recipes in this form or send us a photo of the recipe. We’d also love to have a photo of your dish.
