Cheese Stuffed Dates With Prosciutto

"From the 20 Minute Recipe Club ... submitted by by Giada Di Laurentiis from Giada at Home. "The sweetest, best kind of dates are Medjools. They’re large, so they are easy to fill, meaty, and chewy. Stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in prosciutto, they provide a perfect sweet-salty mouthful in every bite. Serve these with a crisp white wine as the ideal before-dinner tidbit." Haven't tried, but they sound tasty and easy."
