These are great for a party as an appetizer. I got the recipe from Paula Deen's magazine in a section featuring recipes parties. Prep time does not include the 2-hour refrigeration that is necessary.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans for sunflower seeds. The wafers still turned out great!

These wafers are a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates left over from holiday baking and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of dates, but I loved these wafers! The sweetness of the dates is perfectly balanced by the saltiness of the cheese.
