Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300° F. Grease and flour an 8 x 12-inch pan - if you use a smaller pan, the baking time will be longer. Note: If you grease the pan, but don't flour it, the squares will stick to the pan and be difficult to remove after baking.
- Combine flour, sugar (not confectioners sugar), baking powder and salt. Sift with a sifter or fine mesh sieve into a medium sized mixing bowl. If you don't have a sifter, whisk dry ingredients together well to combine.
- Stir the dates, nuts and well-beaten eggs (I beat the eggs separately with a hand mixer for about 1 minute until fluffy before adding them), into the dry ingredients. It is not necessary to beat the eggs with a mixer, you can beat them by hand with a fork. Make sure ingredients are well combined - the batter will be sticky.
- Spread the batter out as thinly as possible into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out clean.
- Let cool completely, and cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch squares. Note: Many recipes call for cutting the squares while still warm. In my experience, they are much easier to cut after they've cooled.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar, using sifter or sieve, as desired. Links: The Hunt for "Chinese Chews" Chinese Chews from She Wears Many Hats

Tips:
- To make sure your walnut chews have the perfect texture, use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the sugar syrup. The syrup should reach 240°F (116°C) before you add the nuts.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it's ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the syrup, or it will become too hard and brittle. If the syrup starts to turn brown, remove it from the heat immediately.
- Once you've added the nuts to the syrup, stir constantly until the mixture starts to thicken and turn opaque. This will prevent the nuts from sticking together.
- Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool completely before cutting it into squares.
Conclusion:
Walnut chews are a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture and sweet, nutty flavor, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these walnut chews a try. You won't be disappointed!
