Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates
WOW these are my new favorite appetizer. I’m not a huge fan of goat cheese so I opted to use chive & onion cream cheese. Feel free to swap if you’re a goat cheese lover! It’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty, everyone will be OBSESSED! Perfect for holiday gatherings or game day parties!
