Easy Date Nut Bars image

Putting this here so that the recipe for one of my dad's favorite Christmas cookies doesn't get lost. I remember chopping the dates (no packages of chopped dates when I was little!) and the nuts for these as one of the first things I did to help Mom with her Christmas baking.
