Love all these ingredients, however, not a tasty combination.
I’m sorry that you didn’t like the recipe, Haley. This is one of my favorite stuffed date combos and it’s always gotten rave reviews.
Can I make these ahead without the syrup and add it right before broiling?
Hi Lynette! Absolutely! That would work just fine. I hope that you enjoy them!
WOW- very easy and amazing flavours!
Thank you from this date lover 🙂
Hi Kathy! Thank you so much for the review! I’m so glad that you enjoyed them!
🤤🤤🤤
so yummy!!!
Hi Holly! You reminded me that I need to make these again! I’m so glad that you enjoyed them! 🙂
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!)
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it! 🙂
These look perfect for my Christmas Eve get together. Can’t wait to try them! thanks for the recipe! I’m a new follower!
Hi Susan! I hope that everyone enjoys them! Merry Christmas!
Amazing!!!! I can’t wait to share this!!! Thanks! ♥️
So glad that you enjoyed them Janice! 🙂
I made this tonight and they were absolutely amazing. I will be doing them again.
So glad to hear that Michelle! 🙂
Made these but used aged balsamic vinegar instead of the maple syrup and they were fantastic! I will definitely be making these again.
I love the balsamic swap! I’ll have to try that Penny, thanks for the idea! I’m so glad that you enjoyed them. 🙂
SO delish!!
I’m glad that you enjoyed them! One of my favs!
making these with pistachios for christmas party. They sound wonderful, Might use pomegranate syrup instead of maple.
The pistachios sound amazing! I hope that you enjoyed them Tena!
These sounds wonderful, going to try tomorrow. Thanks
Thank you Nancy! I hope that you enjoy them. Happy Holidays!
Please do, Rebecca! I hope you love them! They are addictive…;)

Thank you Rachael!
We love stuffed dates! Thanks for the yummy recipe! We appreciate you linking up to our “Strut Your Stuff Saturday”. Hope you’ll come back soon! -The Sisters
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
Absolutely! 🙂
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!
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!
OMG, that sounds amazing too!
I’ll have to find the recipe for that.
Thank you! Yes, they are addictive!
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.
Hi Sara! Yes, lol, the nutrition info is per date. I feel ya, the struggle is real! Hard to eat just one!
Would honey be a good substitute for the maple syrup? I don’t care for it. But this is making my mouth water! 😁
Hi Lisa! Yes, honey would be a great swap. 🙂
Amee! These look awesome!
Very good but definitely don’t recommend parchment paper in the broiler. Will do again using foil.
They definitely need to be watched carefully, but foil is a great option. I’m glad that you enjoyed them!
Yes, this would be dangerous in my kitchen!
