DATE SQUARES

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 would not recommend this recipe. The date squares were dry and flavorless.

These date squares were a big disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

These date squares were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was good.

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

I wasn't sure what to expect when I made these date squares, but they turned out great! The crust is flaky and the filling is sweet and chewy.
