Notes

Boursin cheese can be plain or flavoured. I used cranberry & pepper. Apple maple would also be delicious. Alternatively you can use plain cream cheese, ricotta cheese, goat cheese, feta or mascarpone.

These dates can be made ahead of time (minus the honey drizzle) and placed in a sealed container in fridge. Remove about 30 minutes before serving. Drizzle with honey at the last minute.

You can also heat them slightly in the microwave, or in a moderate oven for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the honey after heating.

Chocolate honey can be replaced with regular honey, hot honey or any other flavoured honey you like.

Cranberries, blueberries, cherries, figs or nuts are all great toppings.
