DATE-AND-WALNUT BARS
This recipe for golden, chewy, date-and-walnut-packed bars comes from the Los Angeles pastry chef Margarita Manzke, who grew up in the Philippines and now runs the sweet side of the kitchen at République. When she was in high school, Manzke came across the classic recipe for "food for the gods" in a thin pamphlet of Filipino desserts, and she made the bars again and again, learning how to produce a consistently tender, chewy batch: Don't overcream the butter, and don't use a light hand with the dates. Manzke sells fresh bars at République, but know that at home the cooled, cut bars store well in the freezer, ready to pop out and defrost at a moment's notice.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325, and line a 13-by-18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until well mixed and no lumps remain. Tip about 1/2 cup of the flour mixture into a medium bowl; add the dates, and toss well to coat, breaking up the dates as you go. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with both sugars just until smoothly incorporated, about 2 minutes on medium speed. Add the eggs in 3 batches, mixing well each time and scraping down the sides of the bowl and the paddle between additions.
- Add the flour mixture and date mixture, and mix gently on low just until incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer, and use a spatula to fold in the walnuts. Transfer the mixture to the parchment-lined sheet pan, and use an offset spatula to spread it in an even layer, pushing it into the edges and corners and smoothing the surface. Bake until brown and set, about 45 minutes.
- Cool completely in the pan, then remove and cut into squares. Serve right away, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

CHEWY SQUARES
Your man will love these! Great for gatherings like football parties, picnics, etc. It's worth repeating: Do Not use the yellow cake mix with pudding, it won't work in this recipe. By all means use your food processor to make this easy. BTW, 16 ounces of powdered sugar equals 2 3/4 cups, for those who buy in bulk.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare a 9"x13" baking pan by greasing with shortening and dusting with flour; set aside.
- Place the cake mix, egg and softened stick of butter in a food processor. Process until thoroughly mixed, about a minute. Mixture will be crumbly then will form into a dough.
- Scoop mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly. (I place a piece of plastic wrap over and press with my hand.).
- No need to clean the processor's bowl. To the emptied food processor bowl, place the softened cream cheese, 2 eggs and confections' sugar (hold out a couple of tablespoons if using for dusting). Start pulsing then process until smooth; about a minute. Pour mixture over the cake layer, spreading evenly.
- Bake 300 degress for approximatley 1 hour or until golden brown. Cool completely. Dust (best done using a sieve) with remaining confections sugar, if desired. Cut into squares.

SOFT 'N' CHEWY DATE SQUARES
Each square has 5g whole grains, 122 calories, 6g fat, 2 g protein, 9g complex carbohydrates, & 9g sugar, 1g fiber. I think next time I'd try this with a little less sugar and maybe sub part of the butter with peanut butter. I threw in a handful of mini semisweet chocolate chips, but I don't really think it added anything to the bars. They were very soft, chewy, and yummy.

You'll need just six ingredients, including a convenient boxed cake mix, to bake up these chewy bars chock-full of walnuts and dates.
