I'm not a big fan of dates, but I actually really liked these date bars. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was gooey and sweet. I'll definitely be making these again.

These date bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
