Looking for a holiday appetizer that will leave your guests raving? These Vegan Bacon-Wrapped Dates are the perfect blend of sweet, smoky, savory, and creamy. Stuffed with artisanal Pistachio Chevre from Rebel Cheese (or any spreadable vegan cheese you love) and wrapped in BE Hive's seitan bacon, these little bites are as flavorful as they are elegant.
