It's not Christmas without date squares. My family loves them. We give them as gifts for Christmas. In fact, my sister and her family request them every year. It's their favorite holiday treat.

Whenever I make this recipe, I always have many requests for the recipe. It's fast and simple and yields a lot. Very different in a positive sort of way.
