I love these. I first must disclose I was out of mascarpone so I used cream cheese. But that aside, these are delish! Highly recommend an assembly line technique to put them together. It goes quickly.i always like to try a recipe before serving to a group and I Can't wait to make for my next party.

This was brilliant. Made it for a birthday party and recieved rave reviews--Such a great mixture of salty, sweet and creamy. Nice pairing with Merlot as well! Did not need toothpicks as the proscuitto wrapped it nicely up in a colorful little package.

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.
