These were very good and got better with age. I used half chocolate and half butterscotch chips - very yummy. Very moist... I cut the recipe in half and it still turned out great. And obviously don't substitute the butter, especially with Crisco. Don't do that in any cookie... the two are simply not the same at all.

These are very good, especially considering that they are a recipe that uses cocoa, when I find that recipes using baking squares are better. I used 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown, which tastes better and is better for you than all white. I also used less sugar than called for - 2 1/2 cups instead of 3. Someone earlier said these were too thin... I think you used too big a pan, because these were just right in thickness! I iced these because I had chocolate icing that needed to be used, but they didn't need it. Yummy :)

I couldn't find my Grandmother's recipe for date squares, but this one turned out to be exactly like the one I was looking for! Most and not too sweet, these melt in your mouth goodies are a great desert, and as a health freak, I like the fact that they aren't too bad for you! I omitted the sugar in the date filling, and it definitely didn't need it! I also substituted some of the butter with a lighter non-hydrogenated margarine. Other than that, the recipe was perfect :)
