1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Poke sweet potatoes a few times with the tines of a fork. Then wrap in aluminum foil and bake 1 hour, or until soft and tender.

Melt butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat.
5
Add brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger & salt. Whisk until sugar is completely dissolved.

Remove saucepan from heat and add the bourbon whiskey. With a stick lighter or match, light the liquid and allow the alcohol to burn off.
7
Remove from heat and set aside.
8
Remove potatoes from the oven and peel off the outer skin.
9
Place potatoes and chipotle salsa in a bowl and mash with a potato masher until smooth.
10
Add the contents of the saucepan and stir to thoroughly combine.
11
Place filled and topped dates on a parchment lined sheet pan, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees, and bake dates 15 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly (4-5 minutes) before serving.
