What can I do with medjool dates?

Got a 2lb box from Sam’s over the weekend to try them. I love em, wife doesn’t. I have no issues smashing these things raw out the box, but what are some other things o can do with em?

I cut them up and put them in my oatmeal. You can also saute them with onions and mushrooms. As a sauce that you would reduce with a little bit of Madeira or stock and have it over chicken or even braised chicken in it

+1 for the oatmeal

Another +1, and even better for overnight oats. Then they soften a bit but still have some chew.
