2 cups chopped dates, (10 ounces)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup powdered or chopped nuts

for the crust:

Recipe

for the filling:
Combine the dates, brown sugar, flour, and water; cook until thick, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the vanilla and nuts. Set aside.

for the crust:
Blend all the crust ingredients together until well mixed.
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a small jelly roll pan.
Use better then half of the crust mixture and press into the pan, bringing up on the pan sides like a crust.
Spread the date mix evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle with the remaining crust mixture. It will not totally cover
filling.
Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool completely and cut into bars.
