Not Your Usual Date Bars image

This is my adopted recipe as of Feb. 2005. This is pretty darned good if I do say so. I changed the recipe to use 1 1/2 cups dates as suggested by the reviewer. This is more like cake than date bars. I didn't bother with the icing.

I didn't really like these date bars. They were too dry and crumbly. I wouldn't make them again.

I thought these date bars were just okay. They were easy to make, but they weren't as flavorful as I was hoping for.

These date bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I found these date bars to be a bit dry. I think I would add a little more butter or oil next time.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but these bars were actually really good. The dates added a nice sweetness and the oats and nuts gave them a great texture.
