Did you know that the great Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamen was buried with a hearty supply of dates? Could it be he was planning a trip to Bunner’s in the afterlife? Well, this square was one of Kevin’s first requests when I was experimenting with new recipes, and really, who doesn’t love this classic and classy king of the squares family? Buttery golden oats sandwiching rich, silken dates … by this description, our tasty date square would fit right in beside King Tut’s most decadent riches!
I really love how simple and easy this recipe is. The longest step for us at the bakery is pitting the dates. That said, you will need a food processor for this recipe, so if you don’t have one, now’s the time to part with some of that royal gold and invest.
