Tried this out with brown sugar and had no patience to wait for 8-10 hours so to the stuffing I also added desicated coconut and filled in the dry stuffing itself moreover there was some moisture of brown sugar so I mixed cherries, tutti fruity and desicated coconut and filled in the dates and my children had good time in the vacation.
Very innovative idea, too yummy and tasty desert.I tried this with mix fruit juice instead of alcohol and dip the dates in white chocolate first and then in dark chocolate, hence it gave three layer and lookwise also it was very attractive.
