How to Make Chocolate Date Squares
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped dates, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using).
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and enjoy!
