Date Squares image

I made some last night and thought I would share with you my own recipe Most recipes suggest to put sugar along with the dates, but I don't add sugar, dates are sweet enough!! These were also a big hit when I had my catering service and was one of Ottawa's most famous Gelato store's Piccolo Grande's best seller!!!

I found these date squares to be a bit dry. I think I would add a little more butter to the crust next time.
