Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb large medjool dates , carefully pitted
1/2 cup marcona almonds ( substitution:
1/2 lb valdeon cheese ( substitution: maytag or stilton)
1/2 lb sliced bacon, each slice cut in 1/2 (roughly 4-inch lengths )
6 cups canola oil
special equipment: 6- inch bamboo skewers

Directions:

Heat canola oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 475 degrees F.
Split each date in half and stuff with 1 almond and 1/2 teaspoon of Valdeon cheese, and close carefully. Lay a strip of bacon on a cutting board, place a stuffed date at the bottom of the bacon, and wrap with the bacon, making sure to pull the bacon tightly towards you while rolling. Add 3 dates onto each skewer. Carefully submerge the skewers one by one in the oil and fry until golden, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
