[Joolies Pitted Dates](https://joolies.com/collections/all/products/organic-medjool-dates-two-pitted-9oz-bags) - You can't stuff a date without a date! We love using our pitted option for these, but whole work just as well! Just be sure to remove the pit as always 😉If you're running low on your stock of dates, you can buy some in bulk [right here](https://joolies.com/products/copy-of-joolies-large-organic-medjool-dates-whole-4lb-box) or in our 2 pack [right here](https://joolies.com/products/organic-medjool-dates-pitted-2-pack)! 2. **Cream Cheese** - This adds a great creamy texture! You can also use a dairy-free cheese if you so desire. We really love [Miyoko's vegan cream cheese](https://miyokos.com/collections/vegan-cream-cheese) as an alternative for the same thickness and flavor. 3. **Pistachios**  - Crush these up to add a little nutty flavor + crunch. You can totally swap for a different nut/seed of choice like walnuts, pecans, or pumpkin seeds.  4. **Honey**  - A little drizzle of this brings everything together and enhances all the flavors. You can omit or swap for [Joolies Date Syrup](https://joolies.com/products/datesyrup)!  1.   1.   If you make this sweet-n-savory recipe, be sure to tag us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/jooliesdates/) and [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/jooliesdates/overview/) so we can see all your date-able recreations!
