A sweet and salty, crispy, and incredibly simple snack that's perfect for any party.

Looking for the perfect idea for a quick and impressive snack? Bacon-wrapped prunes are an absolute hit at any party, disappearing from the table in the blink of an eye. This classic meat appetizer combines the best of both worlds: the amazing crunch of salty meat with the surprising, natural sweetness of dried fruit. Preparing this dish is incredibly simple, and the final result always delights guests. Whether you're planning an elegant dinner, a New Year's Eve party, or just a get-together with friends, prunes in bacon will work perfectly. When choosing ingredients, it's worth opting for high-quality, thinly sliced smoked bacon, which will become perfectly brittle and release a deep aroma under the high heat of the oven. Meanwhile, the dried prunes should be soft and juicy—they form the sweet heart of this unique snack. You can also experiment by stuffing each prune with a blanched almond, a piece of walnut, or a bit of sharp blue cheese before wrapping it in meat to add even more character and sophistication. The whole dish bakes in just about fifteen minutes, making this recipe indispensable when time is of the essence. Discover how this simple yet brilliant contrast of flavors—salty and sweet—can enchant the palate. I guarantee that this party meat appetizer will become a permanent part of your culinary repertoire.

Ingredients

  • 20 pcs Dried prunes (about 150g)
  • 10 slices Smoked bacon slices (about 150g)
  • 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Cut the smoked bacon slices in half to get 20 shorter pieces.
  3. 3
    Tightly wrap each dried prune with half a slice of smoked bacon.
  4. 4
    Secure each roll with a wooden toothpick so the meat doesn't unroll during baking.
  5. 5
    Place the prepared snacks on the baking sheet, keeping small gaps between them, and lightly sprinkle the tops with black pepper.
  6. 6
    Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the bacon becomes golden and very crispy.
  7. 7
    Remove from the oven and drain off excess fat on a paper towel before serving.

Chef's Tips

  • •If the prunes are very dry, it's worth soaking them in hot water (or your favorite alcohol, like brandy) for 15 minutes beforehand, then drying them thoroughly.
  • •To make the snack even more interesting, you can place a blanched almond inside each prune.
