NOTES : *To equal 90 dates
Note: I haven't made in ages, but boy, is it good! Dates Stuffed with Cream Cheese 
and Cointreau! It is from an old catering cookbook. I've made it with Grand Marnier 
instead of Cointreau and it's even better! I've made them in advance and thought 
they tasted even better the next day (but keep refrigerated).

Betsy's Notes: Used Grand Marnier. I thought the cream cheese mixture needed 
something to cut the very "boozy" taste. I added probably 3/4 c of powdered sugar.
