How to Make Chewy Date Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large saucepan, combine the pitted dates, butter, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the dates are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Add the rolled oats and chopped nuts (if using). Mix well to combine.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bars are set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Enjoy!
