Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Blue Cheese - Little Bites

1 pound sliced bacon, cut in half

1 pound pitted dates

4 ounces blue cheese

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Slice dates in half, and open them up. Pinch off pieces of blue cheese, and place them into the center of the dates. Close the halves of the dates, and wrap a half-slice of bacon around the outside. Secure each one with a toothpick. Arrange in a baking dish or on a baking sheet with sides to catch any grease. Bake them in oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until bacon is crisp. Turn dates over after the first 20 minutes for even cooking.
