Does anyone on this thread have a simple date bar recipe? I have a bin of dates to cook up.

Do you have this Date Bar recipe? "Hard Tack" Date Bars 2 eggs

1/4 tsp salt

1 Cup brown sugar

1 Cup dates

1 Cup chopped nuts

3/4 Cup flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

Beat eggs and salt togethe. Add to mixed sugar, dates, flour, and remaining ingredients. Mix well.

Pour mixture into a utility pan and bake at 300degrees (slow oven) for 40-50 minutes.

Note: These must be set aside for 1 week to soften. Then cut into bars and roll in powdered sugar before serving.

From a very old cookbook. I have not tried the recipe myself.
