Preheat oven to 425⁰F. 

Remove pits from dates and cut a slit on one side, making it look like a hotdog bun.

Stuff each date with a teaspoon of your filling of choice.

Slice bacon into 2-inch pieces and wrap around the stuffed date.

Place dates in a baking dish and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Once done, allow to cool and serve immediately or at room temperature.
