Slice small pocket into each date; stuff each with 1 cheese cube—it’s okay if it isn’t fully enclosed. Cut each slice prosciutto lengthwise into 3 strips. Wrap each stuffed date with prosciutto strip, tucking edge under opposite side of open date. Place onto prepared sheet pan. Brush tops of dates with melted butter.
