  • Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic powder
  • Chili powder
  • Salt
  • Diced jalapenos

I love how chewy and sweet the dates are. They’re the perfect compliment to the slightly tangy and spicy filling and salty, smoke-y bacon.

Sweet. Tangy. Spicy. Salty. Smokey.

    This sounds delicious! I’m getting ready to try preparing some. In this particular recipe, are you referring to 24 dates cut in half or is it really 48 dates?
