medjool date with manchego cheese & walnut~ wrapped in prosciutto

This is the most decadent little combo. {adapted by a recipe I learned at one of Diane Phillips's fabulous classes}
ingredients:
1 package of medjool dates {Trader Joe's has them now... I think there are about 20 in a pack}
10 walnuts cut in half long ways
20 cut pieces of manchego cheese {3/4" long}
I package of prosciutto {cut the pieces in half long ways... if you have extra prosciutto you can add to the ones that might not have gotten enough}

Pre-heat your oven for 375.
First you will need to do the dirty job of taking all the pits out. There is no easy way to do this, just kind of squeeze them out and then take your fingers and pull. Where the pit once was insert the walnut and cheese. Then take the long piece of prosciutto and wrap the entire date. Repeat for all 20. Cook for about 10-15 minutes keep an eye on them as every oven is different and you don't want them to burn.
If you want to dress them up a bit tie a little twine or ribbon around your toothpicks...

enjoy.
