These were delicious!! However, I didn't realize there was a pit in them until they were already stuffed. Don't forget to take the pits out!! I will be making these again. YUM!!

This is very tasty and easy to make. I substituted cream cheese with blue cheese and it was wonderful.

I made these for my sons grad party. They were a huge hit! I didn't tell people there were dates in them---they were pleasantly surprised. I left out the cream cheese-too much work and they still were great.
