I'm not a big fan of dates, but I loved this recipe. The blue cheese and walnuts really balanced out the sweetness of the dates.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover blue cheese. I always have a bit left over after making a salad and this is a great way to use it up.

I've made this recipe with both dates and figs. I prefer the figs, but both are delicious.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend experimenting with different types of cheese and nuts to find your perfect combination.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze next time.

I wasn't a big fan of the blue cheese in this recipe. I think it would be better with a milder cheese, like goat cheese or feta.

This was an interesting and delicious combination of flavors. The dates were sweet and chewy, while the blue cheese was sharp and tangy. The two flavors worked well together and the walnuts added a nice crunchy texture.
