"My friends and I used to make the traditional bacon-wrapped jalapenos at cookouts. I decided to sweeten them up a bit with dates and apricots, which are also more kid-friendly." —Susan Hinton, Apex, North Carolina

Not being a big fan of blue cheese, I think maybe cream cheese or even a cheddar or whatever is your favorite cheese would work as well.

I Thought That This Was Quite Tasty and I Used A Maple Cured and Peppered Bacon...The Maple Seamed to Compliment the Dates!

Thanks for Sharing This Recipe.

Perhaps you can substitute apricots for the dates?...

I would follow the same recipe but instead use dried apricots. Place approx tsp of crumbled blue cheese on apricot, fold the apricot in half (like a toco) and wrap in the bacon, secure with toothpick. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
