Stuffed Dates Wrapped with Bacon

Here is the second quick and easy appetizer. I don't remember where I got this recipe since there is only 3 ingredients to memorize. I must have seen on Food Network. There is not much to say about it, it is easy as 1 2 3. Important : do not omit the bacon since it actually burns the dates and it doesn't taste good without bacon.
