For a sweeter treat, consider using dates stuffed with goat cheese and then wrapped in bacon.
If you want a spicy kick, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the dates before wrapping them in bacon.
To make ahead, assemble the dates and keep them refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
