How to Make Cake Mix Chewy Date Nut Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. Add the cake mix, chopped dates, and nuts to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely clean).
  6. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to set and makes them easier to cut.
  7. Once cooled, cut into bars and enjoy! Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature.
