My daughter got a mixture of cookies from her neighbor, who got them in a cookie exchange. So she didn't have the recipe.
They were bars with small pieces of dates and something like Rice Krispies or breakfast flakes of some kind. They were very good and not real sweet.
Does anyone have a recipe like this?

Watching this thread - I also got a couple from my sister-in-law and they were so good - she does not know where she got them either.

So, you are not talking about date bars or sometimes referred to as matrimonial bars?

PurplePassion

No, but those are good too. I love anything with dates; but won't make them because I will eat the whole batch. These were a dark color and had a texture like rice krispies.

Would they have rolled oats instead of Rice Crispies? If so, look at this link http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/...9-e48dc5240c3d

Off the subject, but I went to my Sewing Groups Christmas dinner at a restaurant and they had an appetizer that was dates stuffed with blue cheese, then wrapped with bacon and baked then dusted with a chili powder of some kind. They were fantastic - and I don't really like Blue Cheese

June, No , I've made those before too. But that isn't it. I don't know , maybe she just made up her own recipe.

I used to have a recipe for date balls that was very good, I think it had rice krispies in it. I will try to find it.

Here are some I found when I googled date bars made with rice krispies

they might be a version of Hairy Eyeballs. they have dates and rice krispies. I guess you could flatten them like a cookie instead of making a ball and rolling in coconut. this one is from cooks.com My friends recipe calls for cooking 1st 4 ingredients and then cooling before making into balls, since it calls for an egg I think it is wise to cook.
