  I made these squares as the recipe seemed quick and easy and I love dates! They didnt take long to make at all and the results are absolutely delicious! I didnt have an 18cm tin so I used a 20cm tin and i was glad as it rose to the top. They are moist and very buttery. I took some to work and the comments were outstanding. I shall certainly be making these on a regular basis!

  Just tasted one of these (made by my lovely mum) -- they are so delicious! With buttery crumble and sticky toffee dates, enhancing a straightforward apple traybake ; they're like three desserts in one. Highly recommended (especially if you can get someone else to bake them for you!) But I will certainly be having a go myself, too.

  Very popular with the kids which is great with dates in, very sweet though, took 2oz sugar out the second time.

  Much better than expected, mixture seemed far too wet when putting into tin but turned out nice and gooey/sticky when cooked.

  These look and sound delicious... but dates are very sweet and 10oz of soft brown sugar as well as the dates sounds scary! Am wondering if they'd work with only half the sugar?

  They were so good, but yes, very sweet. Half the sugar would have been just right. I doubled the amount and it bake in the same time. Very good for pot luck Easter Lunch.
