DEVILS ON HORSEBACK APPETIZER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut a small slit in the side of each date. There may already be a slit since the dates have been pitted.
• Carefully push a piece of the cheese into the date.
• Smooth the date back around the cheese if you can. Handle the dates gently because they are fragile.
• Wrap one of the pieces of the bacon around each stuffed date, covering the cheese, and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
• Place all of the stuffed and wrapped dates on broiler pan with a rack.
• Preheat oven broiler. Broil the bacon-wrapped dates 4 to 6 inches from the heat source for 9 to 12 minutes, turning twice during the cooking time, until the bacon is crisp; don't let it burn. Let stand for 5 minutes, then serve.

If desired, sprinkle a little more brown sugar over the bundles.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is brown and crisp, 15 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving; serve warm or at room temperature.
