Notes
- Bacon - I used thin streaky bacon. Avoid thick cut bacon as it will be more difficult to wrap an cook properly.
- Dates - I used the dates you buy in the baking section that were pitted. You could use fresh Medjool Dates if your supermarket carries them. No doubt, they are better. But the ones in the bags work just fine. Medjool Dates are fresh produce and you will find them in the fresh section of your supermarket.
- Pecans - Just regular whole pecans.
- Toothpicks - to secure the bacon around the dates
