Date Bars from my Childhood image

I call them that because as far back as I can remember, my Grandmother made these on special occasions, or just because. And my mother always made them, too. They are just so good and really "datey" , just the way I like them.

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

I'm not a huge fan of dates, but I really enjoyed these date bars. They're not too sweet and the oats and nuts add a nice texture.
