Grandma's Date Bars image

These nicely textured bars are delicious. It's a good recipe for today's diet awareness, because there's no shortening used. My great-grandmother, who was born in 1868, made these bars, and the recipe has come down through the generations. Now my children are making them. -Marilyn Reid, Cherry Creek, New York

I followed the recipe exactly but my date bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These date bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, they were very good.

These date bars are delicious! The dates are soft and chewy, and the oats and nuts add a nice crunch. I love the caramel layer in the middle. It's the perfect finishing touch.

These date bars are so easy to make! I love that I can use ingredients that I already have on hand. They're also a great way to use up leftover dates. The bars are delicious and a perfect snack or dessert.

I was a bit skeptical about making these date bars because I'm not a huge fan of dates. But I'm so glad I tried them! The dates are perfectly complemented by the oats and nuts, and the caramel layer is divine. I'll definitely be making these again.

Grandma's Date Bars are a classic for a reason! They're easy to make and always a hit with my family and friends. I love the chewy texture and the rich date flavor. I usually add a little extra cinnamon to mine for a bit of spice.
