That sounds good. I would try it if someone else made it!

Is it like a sponge ? If so it's sounds similar to the base of a sticky toffee pudding , the toffee sauce would be poured on top of the sponge to finish the dish. It's absolutely delicious.

I hope you don't mind, but I copied this and may make it if I have time before Christmas.
Thanks!

That sound good I'm like @LSBusch , I'd try it if someone else cooked it. I saw that date recipe and immediately thought of my grandmother. She always had pecan stuffed dates rolled in granulated sugar along with toasted pecans to snack on around Christmas

I found a "modern" recipe for Date Truffles, which I might also make.

I was checking out Stuffed dates. The Romans liked them. They stuffed them with pine nuts and other nuts and put honey on them. Found several recipes.

The dates rolled in sugar bring back a lot of good memories - they were my dad's favorite!
