Notes
- Customize: Feel free to use your favorite soft cheese, nuts and seasonings to make this recipe your own!
- Storing: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can enjoy them straight from the fridge or let them warm up a bit at room temp for the best texture.
- Make ahead: These stuffed dates can be prepped ahead of time, which makes them perfect for entertaining. Just wait to prep the pecans until right before serving, otherwise the pecans will likely loose their crunch.
