Here is a sweet "stuffed" date recipe followed by a "savoury" example:

      Title: Ahmad's Stuffed Dates
 Categories: Fruits, Nuts, Cheese
      Yield: 15 servings
 
      3 oz Cream cheese
      1 ts Honey
    1/4 ts Cinnamon powder
      2 tb Chopped pecan
      2 tb Coarsley crushed almonds
     15    (to 20) dates
 
  Start off with room temperature cream chese.
  
  Add honey, cinnamon and pecans to cream cheese and mix
  well.
  
  Take the dates and slit them down the middle and remove
  the pit.
  
  Stuff the dates with cream cheese mixture. I used my
  babys spoon because its tiny size is perfect for the
  job.
  
  Top the dates off with finely chopped almonds for an
  extra crunch!
  
  NOTES: You can skip the nuts altogether or add other
  nuts such as walnuts or hazelnuts. Mascarpone can be
  used instead of cream cheese. Medjool dates work best
  because of their sweetness and pliability.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Bacon-Wrapped Dates
 Categories: Five, Pork, Fruits
      Yield: 16 servings
 
      8 sl Bacon
     16 md Medjool dates; pitted
           Black pepper (opt)
 
  Using scissors, cut each slice of bacon in half
  crosswise at a diagonal, like cutting ribbon. (This
  will help secure the bacon to the date.) Starting at
  the straight end of the bacon, roll the bacon around
  the dates. Tuck the point under the wrapped bacon to
  secure. Place seam side down on a baking sheet.
  
  Place in the oven, and heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  Cook for 10 minutes, then flip and cook until golden
  brown all over, another 5 to 15 minutes, depending on
  the thickness of your bacon.
  
  Season with black pepper (if desired), then transfer to
  a paper towel-lined plate to crisp and cool slightly.
