Bacon Wrapped, Cream Cheese filled Dates

Monaarts

I made a post a couple weeks ago about bacon wrapped dates that were filled with bacon but I forgot to take pictures because I had family in town and was rushing to cook a bunch of things.... In my post I said I'd definitely cook then again, so here it is!!

I bought dates and cut them open to take the pits out.  I stuffed them with cream cheese and closed them back up.  I wrapped half a piece of bacon around them and put a tooth pick through it to hold everything in place.  I then sprinkled Deez Nuts rub on them.  As a test, I'm also trying a little Honey Hog Hot BBQ on a few of them to see if that makes a nice sweet and spicy taste - we'll see.

Anyways, I put them indirect at about 350 degrees.  They will take about 45-60 mins total and I'll flip in the middle of them cooking. Here is the first picture... More to come later!

Those look right up my alley. I've been trying to think of a different lil-bite to cook among my standard appetizers. I'm looking for something unique that will "wow" my guest. This might be it.
I look forward to hearing more.
