These appetizers are simple and always a big hit!
24 pitted dates
24 almonds
8 slices bacon
Heat the broiler with rack 4 inches from heat source. Stuff dates with almonds. Cut bacon into thirds crosswise. Wrap each date with a bacon strip. Place seam side down on a slotted broiler pan. Broil until crispy on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn; cook until bacon is crispy throughout, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Serve with favorite crackers. I love Table Water crackers, because the taste doesn’t compete with the dip. We love artichoke hearts, but don't make this dip often. It is quite rich! But when we do, it goes fast.
1 can drained 13 oz artichoke hearts, quartered
1 c mayo
1 c parmesan cheese
Salsa, to taste
1 7 oz can chopped green chilies
Put hearts in round quiche style dish. Mix the rest of the ingredients and pour over the hearts. Bake for 20 minutes at 350°.
