Remove the pit inside the dates if any by making an incision on the length of the date
Stuff with walnuts and pinch together
Place the 1/4 cup sugar in a small dish. Roll the dates in the sugar.
Notes
Swap the walnuts for pecans or almonds, or add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm holiday touch.For something a little richer, drizzle the stuffed dates with melted chocolate. If you love that combination, my dark chocolate ganache tart is another wonderful chocolate dessert to try.For a savory version, tuck in a little goat cheese, cream cheese, or blue cheese with the walnut. You can also wrap the dates in bacon and bake until crisp for that delicious sweet-and-salty combination.
