Used a brie in this recipe 'cause that's what I have handy & it was very, very nice! I usually serve stuffed dates as finger food, but I definitely wasn't disappointed with the syrup drizzle! This recipe will certainly be worth making again, & I'd like to experiment with a couple of other cheeses next time! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
