GRANDMA'S DATE BARS image

I hope she knows, somehow, what a hit her yummy date bars are with the family, especially with a certain one of her grandsons. Every now and then I make up a batch and share some with him, to remind him of his grandma and her wonderful food. Here ya go, Brian, don't eat too many, now! Photo by:...

These date bars are delicious! The dates add a lovely sweetness and the oats give them a nice texture. I made them for a potluck and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them!

I'm not a huge fan of date bars, but these ones are really good! The dates are soft and chewy, and the crust is flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making these again.

I've tried many date bar recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dates are soft and chewy, the oats add a nice crunch, and the crust is flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making these again and again.
