Method

Cut a slice in each date lengthwise, keeping the bottom of the dates and both ends intact, and remove the pit. Gently spread the dates open so there’s room for the stuffing. Evenly stuff the dates with the frosting. Press the nuts on top of the frosting, using 3 nuts per date. Store the stuffed dates in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer.
