Date Nut Bars image

I've had this recipe since 1938, when the girls I worked with game me a bridal shower. One of their presents was a recipe box filled with their favorites. Inside, I found this recipe, and I've used it for just about every occasion since. They're always well received.

Absolutely delicious! I used chopped walnuts instead of pecans and they turned out great.
