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!

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!

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! 🙂
