Notes
The candies are best straight from the oven, while the puff pastry is still nice and crisp. If you want to prepare them ahead, fill and shape them the day before, keep them well covered in the fridge and bake just before serving. Other soft dates work in place of Medjool - just cut the pitted pieces a little smaller. And a tip against leaking: don't use too much cream cheese and press the ends together firmly.
