Can I use other nuts besides walnuts or pecans?

Absolutely, Almonds, pistachios, or even cashews work wonderfully. For nut-free versions, try toasted coconut flakes or sunflower seeds - they add the same satisfying crunch.

How long do cream cheese stuffed dates last in the fridge?

They'll stay fresh in an airtight container for about 2 days, though the texture is best within 24 hours. The dates might soften a bit over time, but they'll still taste amazing.

Can I make these ahead for a party?

You bet, I often assemble them the morning of an event and refrigerate. The flavors actually get better as they sit. Just add the final nut topping right before serving so they stay crunchy.

What if I can't find Medjool dates?

While Medjools are ideal for their size and sweetness, deglet noor dates work in a pinch. Just know they're smaller, so you'll need more, and the flavor isn't quite as caramel-like.
