  Incredible!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  My husband and I made these for our Holiday Party last year and they are certainly on the menu again for this year. I... literally could not make them fast enough! People were burning their mouths on the lava hot cream cheese just to grab one as the next batch came out of the oven. Usually I change a little something about a recipe, but these are simple, delicious, and perfect the way they are. The one funny thing is...do tell people that there is an almond inside, the first couple of people who ate one thought that I had forgotten to take out the pit. Thank you Emeril for another FANTASTIC recipe!!Read more

  Just like Cheesecake Factory's--excellent!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I first ate these at the Cheesecake Factory Restaurant near San Francisco. they were so good I went back a week later just... to order again. This recipe does an excellent job of duplicating their's. I used a sliver of Parmesan cheese instead of cream cheese, in order to imitate the restaurant dates. Don't use thick-sliced bacon, it takes too long, but more baking time is needed regardless. Read more

  Mmmmmm....

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made these for my husband's birthday party last night and they were such a hit!! I actually used a mixture of cream cheese... and goat cheese (since I love goat cheese) and I omitted the almond (but would probably have been really good). This recipe is the perfect mixture of sweet, smokey, and creamy!! Perfect App!!Read more

  RECIPE CLARIFICATION

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I JUST WATCHED THE SHOW AND EMERIL SAID TO TURN THE DATES AT 8 MINUTES AND THEN TO CHECK WHEN THEY ARE DONE. I WISH THE... PEOPLE WHO TRANSCRIBE THE RECIPES WOULD GET THEM RIGHT. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT IDEAS. I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE THE JP'S ADVICE. MARIARead more

  Just the right bite

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made these at my husband's request for a family get-together. They were gone in mere moments! Even my sister who said, "... I don't like dates", loved them. I agree with some of the comments, cranked the oven to 425 and baked longer to crisp the bacon. I omitted the nut and added Parmasan cheese to the cream cheese for a nutty flavor. These are a crowd pleaser.Read more

  Added Trick

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  In addition to the additional time (which I completely agree with), another trick to make this app nicer (mostly in... appearance) is soak your toothpicks in water before using them on the bacon-wrapped dates. This will keep the ends of the toothpicks from burning, and make them easier to come off . . . although given how tasty these are, people tend to get every last bit off anyway.Read more
