date squares
Sticky fruit dessert
Date squares are a baked dessert made of a date paste filling sandwiched between layers of oat-based crumble, cut into squares or bars.
The buttery oat mixture forms both a base and a crumbly topping.
Particularly popular in Canada and parts of Britain, they're also called matrimonial cake—the "marriage" of dates and oats.
