Grandma's Date Bars image

These nicely textured bars are delicious. It's a good recipe for today's diet awareness, because there's no shortening used. My great-grandmother, who was born in 1868, made these bars, and the recipe has come down through the generations. Now my children are making them. -Marilyn Reid, Cherry Creek, New York

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I actually really enjoyed these date bars. The sweetness of the dates was balanced out by the oats and nuts.

These date bars are the perfect make-ahead dessert. I love to make a batch on the weekend and then have them on hand for snacks or dessert during the week.

I've tried many date bar recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dates are perfectly soft and chewy, and the oats and nuts add a great texture.
