You'll need just six ingredients, including a convenient boxed cake mix, to bake up these chewy bars chock-full of walnuts and dates. They are my husband's favorite snack, and he loves to take them to work. I often whip up a batch for bake sales or to share with my co-workers at our local car dealership.

SIMPLE WALNUT DATE BARS

Very easy to make using cake mix. I got this from one of my friends at a pot luck. Pecans can be used instead of walnuts, can use more nuts and dates. The amount used is my preference.
