Date-Nut Cream Cheese Bites (Easy!)

• 9- 1/2 ounces, weight Pitted Dates
• 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
• 50 pieces Shelled Walnut Halves

1. Using a small serrated knife (with teeth), make a slit into each date, creating an opening.
2. Using a butter knife or spreader, fill each of the dates with about a teaspoon of cream cheese, smoothing the tops.
3. Press a walnut half (curly side facing up) into the cream cheese on each date.
4. Serve immediately or store the dates in the refrigerator, covered in a plastic container.
5. Note that the cream cheese will start to dry out after awhile, so fill the dates as close to serving time as possible for best results.
6. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
