Well, I remember when I was a kid, my grandmother used to make them. And then one day before a ride I went into Andronico's (a super fancy market I usually don't go to), and they had them already made. So I bought some and they were fantastic.

This week, I went and bought some dates and walnuts (separately), and made a big batch last night. It's very easy - just use a sharp knife to slit the date open, take the seed out and put a walnut half or whatever you can fit in there.
