1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup golden syrup
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*.
  • Grease an 8 inch square pan.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use soft, chewy dates. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
  • To make sure the pecans are evenly toasted, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the dates and pecans by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely, so that they will blend well with the other ingredients.
  • The date and pecan slice can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the slice for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap the slice tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag.
