Directions
Decadent Date Bars, From Betty Crocker Cookbook, 1975 Posted in reply to a request , Very easy, very delicious!!, Another variation: Whole wheat flour instead of white, and for the date filling used only 2/3 cup liquid and 2T sugar, along with 1/2 cup of candied ginger Processed in food processor in 2 batches (divide sugar, water & ginger, too) Didn’t need to cook it before spreading it over crust Great stuff! Thanks for the recipe
