Ingredients you'll need:

    1. Joolies Pitted Dates
      • 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 or in our 2 pack right here!
    2. Goat Cheese
    3. Walnuts + Pistachios 
    4. Honey 
      • A little drizzle of this brings everything together and enhances all the flavors. You can omit or swap for Joolies Date Syrup
    5. Fresh Thyme
      • This incredibly fragrant Mediterranean herb pairs well with cheese and really deepens the flavor profile of our savory stuffed date. Feel free to swap with fresh oregano or rosemary.
