These pinwheels are a great make-ahead snack. I made them the night before and they were still delicious the next day.

These pinwheels are a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates left over from other recipes, and these pinwheels are a perfect way to use them up.

I used a different type of phyllo dough than the recipe called for, and the pinwheels didn't turn out as flaky. I think it's important to use the right type of dough for this recipe.

The pinwheels were a bit difficult to roll up, but they turned out great. I baked them for a few minutes longer than the recipe called for, and they were perfectly crispy.

These pinwheels were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar in the filling.

I'm not usually a fan of dates, but I loved these pinwheels. The walnuts and phyllo dough really balanced out the sweetness of the dates. I'll definitely be making these again.
