I think next time I'd try this with a little less sugar and maybe sub part of the butter with peanut butter. I threw in a handful of mini semisweet chocolate chips, but I don't really think it added anything to the bars. They were very soft, chewy, and yummy.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup pitted dates, chopped
1 cup pecans, chopped
Directions:
1. Scoop the batter into a 9x13-inch greased pan.
2. It will make a very thin layer. Bake at 350 degrees 22 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and lighter brown in the middle.
3. Remove from oven and cool.
