Tips:

Choose ripe dates: Using ripe, soft dates will make the squares more flavorful and easier to blend. Look for dates that are plump and free of blemishes.
Pit and chop the dates: Before blending the dates, remove the pits and chop them into small pieces. This will help them blend more smoothly.
Use a food processor: A food processor is the best tool for blending the dates and other ingredients. It will create a smooth and creamy mixture.
Sweeten to taste: The amount of sweetener you need will depend on the sweetness of your dates. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Use a lined baking pan: Line the baking pan with parchment paper or foil before pressing in the date mixture. This will prevent the squares from sticking to the pan.
Chill before cutting: Once the squares have set, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting. This will make them easier to cut and serve.
