Cut each bacon strip in half, wrap around a dried date/fig, and secure with a toothpick. Place on a lined cookie sheet. When all the fruit is wrapped and on the cookie sheet, drizzle approx 1 tsp. barbecue sauce over each one. Bake until barbecue sauce is a dark mahogany, but before it turns black. Serve when convenient (it's great warm, but good cold, too).
