For my Halloween party last Monday, I also made these delicious almond-stuffed, bacon-wrapped dates. Partly because they look a bit like mummy fingers, but mainly because they’re one of the most scrumptious party snacks around. 

Ingredients:

thin rashers of streaky bacon (Organic)

soft dried dates

smoked almonds

• Heat the oven to 185 degrees.
• Cut each date open lengthwise, remove the stone and replace with an almond.
• Wrap each date in half a rasher of bacon.
• Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for about 15 minutes until the bacon is nice and crispy.
