These are fantastic!! The sweetness of the date/chocolate with the tangy goat cheese is so very good together! My mom made some for Christmas and they were gone by the end of the evening. I will be making these. They make a wonderful light dessert or appetizer.

These are so sweet and delicious! And they're sweet enough without the powdered sugar (though the sugar makes them look prettier!). It's easy to buy the ingredients and just make one or two for a quick low-fat dessert for yourself. LOVE these!
