Amee! These look awesome!
Angie Adams Martin
Very good but definitely don’t recommend parchment paper in the broiler. Will do again using foil.
Amee Livingston
They definitely need to be watched carefully, but foil is a great option. I'm glad that you enjoyed them!
Amee Livingston
Thank you! Yes, they are addictive!
Sara
Is the calorie count per stuffed date? I just ate 6 and now realize these are soooo good but might not be as healthy as I thought lol.
Amee Livingston
Hi Sara! Yes, lol, the nutrition info is per date. I feel ya, the struggle is real! Hard to eat just one!
Lisa
Would honey be a good substitute for the maple syrup? I don’t care for it. But this is making my mouth water! 😁
Amee Livingston
Hi Lisa! Yes, honey would be a great swap. 🙂

I make a similar appetizer-stuff the dates with lemon rind, honey & marscapone, then wrap them in prosciutto and crisp them a bit. You're right-you can't eat just one! I may have to try them your way! BTW, you can't read any of these comments in the white on beige!
Shelley Alexander
Hi Amee, These dates look so yummy! I love to stuff dates with nuts or seeds and goat cheese and drizzle them with honey so this recipe sounds like something I will have to make. Thanks for sharing!
Rachael
Hi Amee! I just recently started a love affair with mascarpone cheese... lol. I usually stuff my dates with feta cheese for some saltiness, but I LOVE this idea. All over it! Love your site, too! 🙂

Can you use unsalted walnuts instead of pecans? Ty
Amee Livingston
Absolutely! 🙂

Lovely, easy-peasy, little dessert treat! (For me, I'm better off changing out the parchment paper for foil and using the rack 2nd from broiler, wink, wink, if you know what I mean...just a little deterrent, not a deal breaker!)
Amee Livingston
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! 🙂
