The perfect combination of savory and sweet.  These Buttermilk Blue Stuffed Dates are a great way to start and end a party!

Yield: 2 Dozen
3 ounces Buttermilk Blue®, crumbled, room temperature
¼ cup Marcona almonds, coarsely chopped
24 dates, pitted and sliced open

Simple to prepare and always a hit at parties, stuffed dates are a delicious marriage of sweet and savory. Candied walnuts or pecans make a wonderful substitution for almonds, or try wrapping each date with a thin slice of prosciutto for an added layer of flavor.

In a bowl, mix together Buttermilk Blue® and almonds.

Open dates and fill with cheese and almond mixture, dividing evenly.
