Make the filling:
Boil dates, sugar, and water until thick, about 5-10 minutes. Add butter, vanilla and the walnuts; set aside to cool a bit.
Prepare the crust:
Combine all dry ingredients with the melted butter. Press half of the mixture into a lightly greased 13x9 pan. Cover with filling mixture and top with remaining half of crust mixture. Press lightly. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes (no longer than that). Cut into squares when cool.**

As far back as I can remember, my Grandmother made these on special occasions, or just because. And my mother always made them, too. They so good and really "datey" , just the way we like them.<br />

**You must let these cool completey before trying to cut.**
I love dates and now I love the even more. These are so easy to make and they taste wonderful. I didn't have walnuts so I left them out but still the result was excellent
