Used Medjool dates & enjoyed making these tasty little bites! A bit more messy than just slapping a nut inside a sliced date, but very delicious, for sure! I did make half of them with sweetened coconut & the other half with the unsweetened kind, & must say that I liked the sweeter ones more, although that's probably just my sweet tooth talking!
