Food for the Gods

(My nephew, Matty, is in town and he helped me with this post. Thanks, Matty!)

Last year, I bought a tub of Medjool dates with the hopes of baking these delicious date-and-nut bars but I never got around to making them. Sad to say, they made it to the trash. 

This holiday season, I finally made a few batches. Yumm-ee!!! See the recipe below courtesy of my dear sister-in-law, Alice (thanks so much!).  

Medjool Dates

Chopped walnuts and dates -- these chunks give texture to the bars.

 

Dredge them in flour to separate the pieces.

  

 White sugar, brown sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla -- all the good stuff!

Together, these ingredients will make a wondeful taste sensation.

We're almost there . . . we just have to wrap them.

 Yumm, moist and chewy!

All wrapped and ready. Attack!
