SERVINGS: 12

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 10 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (11 ounces) pie crust mix
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 24 pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • Confectioners' sugar

Directions:

Place the pie crust mix in a bowl. Cut in cream cheese until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and stir to form a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
    Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Cut into 3-in. squares.
    Cut dates in half lengthwise; fill each with 1/2 teaspoon marmalade. Place a date in the center of each pastry square. Moisten corners with water; bring corners together, pinching dough to seal.
    Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 2 dozen.
