These bars were a bit dry, but they were still tasty. I think I would add an extra 1/4 cup of butter to the crust next time.

These bars are delicious, but they're a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would add an extra 1/2 cup of flour to the crust next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out really crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I'm not a huge fan of dates, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these bars. The orange flavor really shines through and the dates add a nice chewy texture.

Followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out great! The only thing I would change is to reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup, as I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

These orange date bars were an absolute hit at my dinner party! The combination of citrus and dates is divine, and the texture is perfectly chewy and moist. I'll definitely be making these again and again.
