Open the box of Natural Delights Fresh Medjool Dates (pitted) and slit the top of the dates into halves (making sure the dates are still intact for stuffing). Repeat the process until all of the dates are cut into halves.
Open the package of Vermont Creamery Goat Cheese or other preferred options. Take a butter knife and take a piece of the goat cheese and stuff into the dates (approximately 20g of goat cheese per dates). Repeat the process until all of the dates are stuffed with goat cheese.
Remove the bacon from the package and cut them into halves. Set aside. Take one of the stuffed goat cheese and wrap them with bacon and pin the bacon wrapped dates with a bamboo toothpick. Place the finished wrapped dates on a baking sheet and repeat the same process. You should be able to make about 16 bacon wrapped dates.
Once the oven is ready to go, place the baking sheet into the middle of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
While the bacon wrapped stuffed dates are being baked, prep the honey sriracha drizzle by combining honey and the sriracha into a bowl and mix well. Then set aside for later use.
Once complete, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Remove the stuffed dates onto a serving plate and top off with the sriracha honey drizzle and serve right away!
