Marmalade Date Pastries

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

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.
