Old Fashioned Date BArs

 

Filling Ingredients:

 

3/4 cup water

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 (8-ounce) package chopped dates

 

 

Crust Ingredients:

 

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup uncooked quick-cooking oats

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

 

 

Combine water, 1/4 cup brown sugar and dates in

1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring

occasionally, until mixture thickens and comes to a

boil (4 to 5 minutes). Cool to room temperature (30

minutes).

 

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all crust ingredients in

large bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often,

until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup.

 

Press remaining crumbs into greased 8-inch square

baking pan. Spoon filling over crust; sprinkle with

reserved crumbs. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until

lightly browned. Cool completely. Cut into bars.
