Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Prep dates – open up dates carefully with a paring knife, cut 2 lengthwise slits in the dates, making sure not to cut all the way through the date, remove small piece of date (save to snack on), remove pit if necessary.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sea salt and optional cinnamon. Stuff dates with about ½ teaspoon (or more if you like overstuffed dates) of the cheese mixture.
Tightly wrap each cheese stuffed date with ½ slice of bacon. Secure with toothpick.
Place bacon wrapped dates seam side down on baking pan. Place baking pan in oven, set timer for 10 minutes.
At 10 minutes, use tongs to flip each bacon wrapped date. Set timer for another 10 minutes.
Bacon is done when it looks crispy and is dark golden brown. Watch the bacon closely, all ovens cook differently, you don’t want the bacon to burn.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Make sure to wait a couple of minutes before taking a bite, they are super HOT when they come out of the oven.
