The Good STUFF

Dried fruits have a naturally intense sweetness that makes them a wonderful snack, simple dessert or super recipe ingredients. Their characteristic chewiness also makes them satisfying and fun to eat. Dried fruits are even better when combined with salty, nutty, creamy and crispy counterparts, as in these festive, savory-sweet cocktail party bites. Stuffed with cheeses and partnered with nuts and crispy bacon, our recipes for no-cook, wine-poached and baked apricots, figs and dates are the party-perfect choices for the season.

Tasty Tip:

Pair these rich, salty-sweet snacks with a sparkling wine to cleanse the palate between bites.
