Tips:

  • For the best results, use a low-sugar date variety such as Deglet Noor or Medjool dates. This will help prevent the bars from becoming too sweet.
  • If you don't have any vanilla extract on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder instead.
  • To make your bars even chewier, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds, to the batter.
  • If you want a crispy crust on your bars, sprinkle 1/4 cup of rolled oats or chopped nuts on top before baking.
  • Be sure to watch the bars closely while they are baking. They can go from golden brown to overcooked very quickly.

Conclusion:

These cake mix chewy date nut bars are a delicious and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a quick snack.
