I used to make a cracker-cookie with chopped dates - really yummy!
Cook to mush: 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 lb of chopped dates - stir in chopped walnuts (optional) and spread on oval (Townhouse) crackers. Frost with a little vanilla canned frosting. Topping will firm up as it cools - Makes a BUNCH and I remember freezing them too.

Date Balls with Rice Krispies and rolled in coconut are yummy - and I don't like dates.

How about an Apple Date salad? So easy to fix!
1.Core and cut apples into bite size pieces, leaving the skins on. (I soak mine in Sprite or 7-Up for a few minutes to keep them from turning brown, then drain when ready to continue)
2.Add in the date pieces.
3. Mix in mini-marshmallows
4. Stir in Cool Whip into ingredients until blended.
Voila...instant salad that goes great with any turkey, pork or chicken dinner. I sometimes mix in Spanish peanuts if you want to add a little crunch with a salty flavor!
