Fresh Dates

I've found some fresh dates at my local grocery. They are so much better than the ones I'd bought in the package and used for cooking. The price seems a bit steep $5.49 a pound and there aren't that many in a pound, but they are worth it. I haven't decided what we will do with them other than just eat out of hand. I also bought some shelled brazil nuts so they are great together, as would any nut be with the dates.
 
Thought I would bump this thread instead of starting a new one.

I just bought some Medjool dates today, sooo yummy! I usually eat a couple with a handful of almonds as a snack. I've also made some lovely banana date cookies that are super scrummy. Oh and another good snack is a banana mashed up with 2 chopped dates stuffed into celery sticks.

Any other ideas about how to use these lovely sweet little things??
