Kind of labor intensive, what with the stuffing of the dates and then slicing and wrapping in prosciutto. The sweet/salty was nice, but didn't just knock our socks off. Probably won't make again.

First time I made this exactly as the recipe stated. Prosciutto was difficult to cut and secure neatly. Second time, omitted the prosciutto and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. It was heavenly and didn't miss the omission. I will be making it again to bring to a Thanksgiving dinner as an app for a host who is a real foodie. I know he's going to be blown away by it.
