Bacon-wrapped dates

12 pitted dates
6 slices bacon (I used thick-cut hickory smoked from the local butcher)
6 tooth picks

Cut bacon slices in half and wrap one half around each date, securing with a toothpick. I didn't want the toothpicks to burn, so I stuck a bacon-wrapped date on either end, resulting in a bacon-wrapped date dumbell of sorts. Place into pan and cook at 450 until bacon is crispy. Eat and declare it the best thing you've ever had in your entire life.
