Love date bars and have been avoiding the date bars at the bakery. Thanks for the low sugar recipe. Don't know if they are diabetic fare, so just had half a serving. Yummy.

These are very good date squares. Possibly the best recipe I've tried with Splenda. I did need a bit more water to cook the dates, probably closer to 2 cups (I kept adding a few tablespoons at a time to prevent burning), and I was wishing I'd chopped up the dates first instead of just putting them in the pot. But they cooked up fine, just needed more time and water. I had enough Splenda for the crust, but only had about a quarter cup left for the dates, so I cooked it like that and tasted a bit to see if I should add some sugar to make it sweet enough. Now I am wondering if I even needed to add Splenda to the dates at all! Dates are so sweet by themselves, it probably isn't necessary.

I made these squares for my mom who is diabetic and always craving sweets and she loved em. I also tried them and found that they tasted like the real thing,you couldn't even tell they had artificial sweetner in them. I only change I made was that I used Equal instead. Next time I make them I'll try adding a bit of orange juice to the filling. Thanx Elaine.
