I don't purchase deserts, I make everything from scratch.Most of my recipes comes from Taste of Home on line cooking. I purchased a box of dates a few months back and didn't have a recipe to use them in untill I came across this recipe. The only thing I did different was add a 1/2 cup of coconut and some medium chopped walnuts to the brown sugar mixture. The Bars came out delicious. I will be keeping this recipe.

We loved the texture and that fact it wasn't overly sweet. Next time I would add 1/4 c. of toasted pecans or walnuts to give it a little more crunch.

These were excellent I used Splenda Brown Sugar and half Splenda for the granulated sugar. They were a hit I will make them again.

I made the bars using Smart Balance in the stick form. It is just a little healthier than using butter. My husband and I agree that the next time we make them we would add about 1/3 more filling to the recipe. This is a keeper recipe for us.
