Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cups chopped dates
  • 2 1/2 (1 oz) squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x10-inch baking pan.
  2. Cook and stir dates, chocolate, water, white sugar, and 1/4 cup butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
  3. Beat brown sugar and 3/4 cup butter together in a bowl until creamy. Add oats, flour, walnuts, baking soda, and salt; stir until texture is crumbly.
  4. Press half the oat mixture into bottom of the prepared pan. Evenly spread chocolate-date mixture over oat mixture layer; crumble remaining oat mixture over chocolate-date layer.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cut into 30 small squares.
