So, after the dates are pitted and slitted, used a spoon and put a little bit of mascapone inside. Now if you like a bit of crunch, you can tuck in a Marcona almond. This isn't an ordinary almond, instead it is from Spain and has a rounder shape and it doesn't have the brown outer coating. It is traditionally toasted in oil and salted. I buy mine at Trader Joe's as they are fairly expensive. Now the almond can confuse some people who might think it is a pit, so be sure to let them know it's there.
