Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.

Step 2

Stir together the blue cheese, cream cheese, chives, and paprika in a small bowl.

Step 3

Cut lengthwise down the side of each date, cutting just far enough so the date can be opened up like a book, but not all the way through the other side. Stuff each date with about 1 teaspoon of the blue cheese filling and fold date closed. Wrap each date with a bacon piece, top with a jalapeño slice and secure with a toothpick. Arrange dates on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake dates until the bacon is rendered and beginning to crisp, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping dates once after 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the hot dates with the honey. Transfer dates to a serving platter and garnish with chives. Serve hot.
