I have to say the aroma while baking is amazing, and they’re very buttery, but I didn’t think the taste lived up to the hype. I don’t think I’ll make these again.

These things are named appropriately! LOVE these bars. They are like green eggs and ham…………”I would eat them anytime Sam I am!” I prefer them with just walnuts. I’ve also used dates AND figs, was okay. Lordy these things are redonkquelously divine! Make them ASAP.

This is my SECOND yes SECOND time in less than a week that I have made these bars….my family, friends and bystanders LOVE THEM! Truly remarkable that something so simple is so sublime. This time I upped my brown sugar to 1 cup since and I’m not a sweets eater…..and GET THIS I added dried FIGS OMG TO DIE FOR! I love these bars when they are completely cooled you can really taste all the flavors then. Enjoy and THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this recipe! A real WINNER!

I did lightly toast the nuts before adding them to the batter (325 for 8 minutes). I didn’t feel like chopping the dates, so I used Sunsweet chopped dates (10 oz. pkg), just covered in hot water to rehydrate and drained. Those worked beautifully. I think coconut would be a great addition to these, too.

I made them as dessert for my (non-kosher) Passover seder today, and they were easy, delicious, and I think my friend would have killed me if I didn’t share the recipe (I printed it out right then to give to her). I see another batch of these in my very near future.

Delicious. Moist. Great with coffee or milk. I’m sending them with my husband to work tomorrow. Only thing I can add is that it took more than 20 minutes prep time since I had to chop up two kinds of nuts and the dates as well. Since you have to melt the butter and get it back to room temp and you have to get your eggs to room temp, those preparations need to be considered. Easy, wonderful. Will make again, soon!

Fabulous!!

Each person in the department picks a day to bring food/treats/candy/etc.

I made this to take. It was a huge hit, moist and good.

We give to receptionist, dentist, all the people who serve us through out the year. I did the reindeer cookies and just finished the zucchini chocolate bread, and these wonderful date bars. These food of the gods scrumptious yummy little wonderful tastebud rewarding beauties are GREAT!!!
The recipe made one large loaf and two small mini loaves, I had to test them after my mediocre other items and I fell in love. I wrote in big letters across the top of the recipe A KEEPER FOR EVER. I know I will be asked to make this again and again. My friend walked away with one and came back and needed another immediately. I am going to make another batch right away as I really want to give these as gifts for sure. Now fingers crossed my key limes cakes taste just as great. I am going to photograph all my cakes together when I am all done. Thank you for this recipe.

I swear, this bar can make a believer out of even the staunchest date-hater.
