- 4 ounces goat cheese (softed (try Trader Joe's Caramelized Onion))
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios
- 3 tablespoons Hot Honey (or to taste)
- 4 ounces brie cheese (cut into 12 small pieces (about 1 teaspoon each))
- 12 pecan halves
- Chopped fresh rosemary
- 4 ounces ricotta cheese
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 12 oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves
- 12 fresh basil leaves
- 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup roasted salted peanuts (finely chopped, divided)
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (melted)
- 6 tablespoons creamy almond butter
- 12 fresh raspberries
- 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Steps
With the tip of a small, sharp knife, make a slit in each date, then remove the pit. Arrange on a plate (or if you'll be baking the dates, a parchment-lined baking sheet; see notes).
GOAT CHEESE PISTACHIO HOT HONEY: Stuff dates with the cheese (I use a small spreader to smear it inside). Sprinkle with pistachios and drizzle with hot honey.
BRIE PECAN ROSEMARY: Tuck a piece of brie and pecan half into each date. Sprinkle with rosemary.
RICOTTA SUN-DRIED TOMATO: Stir the ricotta together with the salt and lemon zest. Stuff inside the date, along with a sun-dried tomato half and basil leaf.
SNICKERS: Stuff each date with 1 teaspoon peanut butter and a pinch of crunched peanuts. Dip in melted chocolate, then finish with more peanuts on top.
ALMOND BUTTER RASPBERRY: Stuff each date with 1 1/2 teaspoons almond butter. Press a fresh raspberry in the center.
CHUNKY MONKEY: Stuff each date with 1 teaspoon peanut butter and a banana slice. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
