turkey bacon wrapped dates

It’s New Year’s Eve. You need an appetizer to bring to a party, but you can’t have gluten, soy, dairy, corn or nuts (welcome to my world). You want to make something relatively healthy and that won’t require you to stand on your feet for hours in your kitchen.

Enter bacon-wrapped dates. With a twist. A spin off the traditional version that merely subs goat cheese for coconut butter and regular bacon for turkey bacon!

They’re delicious little delicacies!
