Preheat the oven 400 degrees
Make a slit on each date. Do not cut through. Take the pit out.
Spoon approximately half a teaspoon of blue cheese into the date.
Press in a piece of nut and squeeze the date to keep the cheese and nut inside.
Wrap a piece of bacon around the date and place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. At halfway, turn each one over. Cool 5 minutes before serving. You can put it under the broiler for the last 2 minutes to crisp up the bacon, but watch it carefully that it doesn't burn. Be sure your baking tray can be used under the broiler.
Alternate to baking option: if you like a crispier bacon, you can put it under the broiler for approximately 9 - 11 minutes BUT be sure to check often, making sure you turn the appetizers. You must check every few minutes as all ovens are different and broiling can quickly burn your appetizers!
