My mom used to make these for the holiday season and I never have, but the memory came to me and I had to bring up the past - again. She had to slice the dates and remove the pits as I used to watch the process. These dates were already pitted, (reamed out, leaving a tubular hole through the middle) but I still had to slice them to stuff with cream cheese. Then I rolled them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
