Here's a recipe my mother would make for parties. It's quick and delicious finger food. Children love everything about it - especially participating in the making of them!
Ingredients
The same number of prunes or dates and almonds and half the number of rashers of bacon!
Roast whole peeled almonds dry in the oven for 15 minutes at about 325 - until golden brown.
Stir or shake them from time to time so they brown all over.
Remove from oven and cool.

* Strong bacon is better - Canadian or English style.
Some recipes stuff the prunes with mango chutney - i have never done that and don't like the idea of it!
