      I will probably make 3 or 4 so the more the better. I would like them to be simple but not as simple as chips and dip.

      Looking for a recipe for bacon-wrapped dates, and they are usually served in a creamy orange colored sauce.

      I have had these at a Spanish Tapas Restaurant, and someone brought them to a party I was at this weekend and they are SO GOOD!

      Thanks for the help!!
