Anita’s Mom’s Date Squares, I have not yet tried this, but it is from an overdue library book (From Our Mothers’ Kitchens) and I want to return the book tomorrow, so need to get the recipes I want to try copied down, pronto I love the idea of adding the orange juice and zest in with the dates in this old-fashioned recipe , These bars are just right !! Very buttery and just a hint of orange I LOVE them They will be great on a cookie or pastry tray They taste like a million dollars but , are really a snap to fix ! Even someone who thinks they don’t like dates should try them I think you would be pleasantly suprised !, I have not yet tried this, but it is from an overdue library book (From Our Mothers’ Kitchens) and I want to return the book tomorrow, so need to get the recipes I want to try copied down, pronto I love the idea of adding the orange juice and zest in with the dates in this old-fashioned recipe
