Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

In a saucepan, combine chopped dates and boiling water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the dates are softened and the mixture is slightly thickened. Set aside to cool slightly. (10 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, cream together sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. (5 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract and the cooled date mixture. (5 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Pour the batter into a greased 9x11 inch baking pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly over the top. (2 minutes)

06

Step
28 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (25-30 minutes)

07

Step
30 mins

Let cool completely before cutting into squares. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
Toast the walnuts before chopping for enhanced flavor and crunch.
Store the baked squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    I added a pinch of cinnamon to the batter, and it gave it a wonderful warm flavor.
