I used goat cheese instead of cheddar. Some other reviewers said they did this as well and that using a pastry bag helped to pipe the cheese into the dates. I still found this very difficult, as the dates were sticky and I didn't have a real pastry bag with a tip (I used a sandwich baggie so the cheese just squished everywhere. <br /><br />Easily fixed this though! Because the dates will be wrapped in bacon and secured, I just sliced the dates open, filled with the goat cheese and closed them back up. It worked perfectly! Sooo delicious. It does need some kind of dipping sauce... any suggestions??
