Gorgonzola stuffed dates wrapped in bacon and drizzled with honey

Here's one of my 'go-to' recipes when I know that I need a sure hit!  These 'Gorgonzola stuffed dates wrapped in bacon and drizzled with honey' may have quite a long name, but that pretty much sums up the ingredients and the steps.  I made these yesterday for a glorified cookout and ended up winning a prize for them!

24 fresh medjool dates (pitted and slit open)
Gorgonzola cheese, 2 ounces is more than enough for a batch this size
maple flavored bacon, cut each strip into thirds

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray baking sheet with Pam olive oil.

Slice open each date just enough to remove the pit.  With a knife, stuff each date with just enough cheese to fill it and then gently press to close using your fingers.  Wrap each stuffed date in a piece of cut bacon, with the seam side of the bacon on the bottom and the sliced opening of the date facing up.  Place onto baking sheet.  Once all are prepped and on baking sheet, drizzle honey over each one.

Bake for about 40 minutes or until bacon is crisp.  Let cool 10 - 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
