You'll need just six ingredients, including a convenient boxed cake mix, to bake up these chewy bars chock-full of walnuts and dates. They are my husband's favorite snack, and he loves to take them to work. I often whip up a batch for bake sales or to share with my co-workers at our local car dealership.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (18.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
2 cups dates, chopped
2 cups walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix and brown sugar. Add butter and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Combine dates and walnuts; stir into batter (batter will be stiff). Spread into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around sides of pan to loosen; cool completely before cutting. Yield: 3 dozen.

Tips:

  • Use fresh dates. Fresh dates are softer and have a more caramel-like flavor than dried dates. If you only have dried dates, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Chop the nuts finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bars.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Press the batter firmly into the pan. This will help the bars hold together.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Chewy date nut bars are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are also a great way to use up leftover dates and nuts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these bars in no time. So next time you are looking for a healthy snack, give these chewy date nut bars a try.
