Date Bar Recipe

/

My family first experienced Date Bars when my dad brought the recipe home from a trip to Canada many years ago. I recently created my own date bar version by adding vanilla and dried cranberries. My hubs and Ridley loved the date bars’ gooey texture and rich flavor which pairs perfectly with a glass of milk.

Do you like dates? Or dislike dates? I know some people don’t care for dates, but this recipe isn’t super date-ish. I hope you will try it especially with Fall right around the corner. It’s just perfect!

  1. I love your blog Myra… this is a beautiful pic of the squares. I follow your blog from Canada so this was neat to see 🙂 I love dates too… my favorite way to eat them is to slice them open a bit and then stuff them with cream cheese. You can’t stop with just one!!! 🙂

  2. These look wonderful, but does anyone have any suggestions for how to lower the sugar in these? With so many dates and 1 cup of sugar I’m afraid that these would be way too sweet.

    1. You are more than welcome to cut the sugar! 🙂 I use raw sugar that is much less “sweet” than white sugar. I didn’t get any “too sweet” feedback from all the people who test-tasted for me, but definitely go for less! 🙂

  3. Hi Myra, I found your blog through pinterest and I couldn’t wait to try your cranberry date bars. Well I did, and love them! It is such a simple recipe but oh so delicious. I actually made them for a bake exchange and cooked them in mini muffin tins and then drizzled the tops with white chocolate. They were a big hit. So thank you for sharing, they will be a go to recipe for any event around here. 🙂
    Cheers, Shawna

  4. Ok I made these and they tasted pretty yummy, but mine flattened out too much, how do I keep them from doing that? Also I used all the ingredients you used exactly so I can’t figure out what went wrong?persian food

  5. Many of my kids probably have no clue, so their responses should provide some laughs. I have a friend who has the kids write the step, so I’ll pass the worksheet along to her. Thanks for sharing.homemade pizza recipe

  6. Hi, I think I’ll ask my aide to do it. Many of my kids probably have no clue, so their responses should provide some laughs. I have a friend who has the kids write the step, so I’ll pass the worksheet along to her. Thanks for sharing.ghormeh sabzi

  7. Happy Wednesday, y’all! With Thanksgiving being later this year, it seems like Christmas is coming faster than ever. So much to do…so little time! Ahhh! Are you done with your shopping yet?

  8. I keep seeing the phrase “Chef’s Kitchen” being bandied about in real estate advertisements. Does that mean something in particular or is it just marketing hype? It seems like the threshold for equipment needed by a good chef to cook a nice meal is pretty low. It’s the ingredients in the food that makes the real difference.Darren Wogman

  9. Hi, Bamboo Steamer is used in cooking. It is a tool to cook food in which you cook food in a bamboo steamer; it prevents the food from being over-cooked or under-cooked.Bamboo Steamer
