I am ALL about bacon wrapped appetizer recipes. I’m also all about raspberry appetizers and Paleo date recipes.

The fact that both of those worlds combine here. And in an epic way, is a dream come true!

It’s one of those flavor combinations that you have to try to understand but then once you do, you’ll be hooked!

I’ve made these raspberry stuffed bacon wrapped dates as a New years appetizer, as birthday party appetizer, and even as a Thanksgiving appetizer.

And every single time, someone asks me for the recipe. They are just THAT good.

Ingredients needed to make these Bacon Wrapped Raspberry Stuffed Dates:

• dates
• raspberries
• bacon (I like Maverick bacon because it doesn’t have added sugar)

That is it!

What’s great about these stuffed medjool dates is that you only need these three ingredients (dates, raspberries and bacon) to make them.

I find that the less ingredients, the healthier and tastier, the better!

And that certainly is the case for this paleo date recipe.

These stuffed medjool dates are made of simple all natural ingredients and they taste like sweet raspberry jam wrapped in bacon.

They really do!

The dates soften and get gooey when they heat up, and so do the raspberries. They almost melt into each other, forming a sweet raspberry center (which tastes like jam) inside of the bacon wrap.

It is fabulous.

Are dates Paleo?

Yes! Dates are considered to be a fruit, and fruit is Paleo.

Dates are non-processed, and come from nature.

The reason some may not know whether dates are Paleo is because dates have a high sugar content. BUT that is how they were created in nature. They also have vitamins, minerals, and other health benefits because they are a fruit.

How to make crispy bacon wrapped dates stuffed with raspberries:

Step 1:

Remove the pit from the dates and slice them on one side ( not all the way through).

Step 2:

Fill the dates with one raspberry each.

Step 3:

Wrap each raspberry stuffed date with bacon and then keep the bacon in place using a toothpick.

Since dates are so naturally sweet, they enhance the raspberry flavor… and make them more sweet and less tart. (hence the jam taste)

This amazing natural raspberry date jam is then complimented by crispy bacon.

It’s a bite sized flavor explosion! They really make for the best bacon wrapped appetizer recipe!

My husband actually said that these stuffed dates taste like “bacon pop-tarts”, which surprisingly sounds amazing to me!

Bacon pop tarts that happen to be Paleo, Whole30, Grain-free, Gluten-free and Dairy-free?! YES PLEASE.

Seriously… yes yes yes please to all this raspberry bacon amazingness.
