date bars

Chewy fruit treats

Date bars are a baked dessert consisting of a date filling sandwiched between layers of oat-based crumble, typically made with oats, butter, and brown sugar.

The chewy, caramelized date paste contrasts with the crisp, buttery topping.

Also called matrimonial cake in parts of Canada: She brought date bars to the potluck.
