📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
2
Stir together the blue cheese, cream cheese, chives, and paprika in a small bowl.
3
Cut lengthwise down the side of each date, cutting just far enough so the date can be opened up like a book, but not all the way through the other side. Stuff each date with about 1 teaspoon of the blue cheese filling and fold date closed. Wrap each date with a bacon piece, top with a jalapeño slice and secure with a toothpick. Arrange dates on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake dates until the bacon is rendered and beginning to crisp, 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes, flipping dates once after ⏱️ 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the hot dates with the honey. Transfer dates to a serving platter and garnish with chives. Serve hot.
