Yummm! Those look so good. And, they look so easy to make. I have a question about blue cheese. Isn’t the “blue” that is in the cheese, mold? LOL! That’s what I have always thought and I could be wrong. Anyway, these look REALLY DELICIOUS!! (Except for the mold).

I LOVE Medjool dates. You might like to try this sometime:
Soak 1/3 cup RAW cashews in water for, at least, an hour (the longer the better). You can let them soak overnight. Blend (a hefty blender helps) soaked and drained cashews, 1 cup cold water (I usually end up adding maybe an 1/8 of a cup more), 9 – 10 pitted Medjool dates, 1 heaping tablespoon raw cacao powder (I use Navitas brand), and a tsp. of vanilla. After that’s blended well, add a full tray of ice cubes. Blend again until ice is dissolved.
It makes two good size servings.
Depending on the size of the dates, I may add more or less.
I’ll send another good Medjool recipe sometime.
