I make these all the time for clients parties in Texas. I stuff mine with Pineapple wrap in bacon then roll them in Tony Chachere Cajun spices… sweet with spicey kick! I broil them crispy too…sooo good!

These are similar to one of my favorite tapas. The restaurant that makes them stuffs them with an almond and blue cheese instead and drizzles balsamic reduction over the top. The blue cheese and balsamic really tone down the sweetness. TO DIE FOR!

You totally should have brushed these with maple syrup instead of honey. Fantastic idea though!

these are a favorit3e of mine. I LOVE them, however sometimes i am too lazy and do resort to buying them at Costco. but I love the idea of goat cheese in them.

Yum! My mum used to make these for just about any party we had in the seventies & early eighties. Then they got out of style, never understood why though!

I do something similar but use goat cheese. The tangy bite of goat cheese (sometimes with a bit of minced fresh basil) is nice foil to the sweet dates. But I ADORE dates any way I can get them. And figs, too!!

I was on the fence about going for dried chili flakes or black pepper. Gonna a try them with chili flakes as well! Will give a nice balance between salty. spicy and sweet, I think.

Glad to see you had the cracked black pepper in there. As soon as I started reading the beginning of the recipe, my mind was already jumping ahead to something spicy to balance out the sweet/salty vibe. Of course I was going the direction of chopped jalapenos, just cause they’re my favorite! May have to try this out and let you know how it comes out. Now my mission is to try to find some dates here in Phnom Penh!

Cheers!
