If you can’t find dates, you can substitute 3 cups of chopped pitted dried figs for the dates.
For best results and easy prep, use prepackaged chopped dates for the filling. Remember, pitted dates may contain an occasional pit so be sure to check for pits before cooking the filling.
To soften butter for this recipe, cut the butter in small pieces and leave at room temperature. A faster method is to microwave butter in 5 second intervals turning the butter frequently, so butter is softened but not melted.
We like to use Medjool dates for this date bar recipe, because they’re just a little sweeter—but really, any variety of dates will do.
