These are tasty little bites to munch on!! From Southern Living (1985), they have been staples around our house during the holidays and have now made their way into summertime entertaining - we enjoy with chilled chardonnay, pinot noir and even some merlots. If the dough seems too crumbly to form around dates, just add a drop or two of water and mix well until the dough holds together.
