GRANDMA'S CHEWEY   

This recipe is one that my Grandma made every Christmas season.  She would wrap it up in aluminum foil and give some to every family.  I will always remember being allowed to have one piece each day so it would last longer.      Chef Johnny at http://www.chefjohnny.com

1 lb. Chopped dates
1 cup chopped nuts, walnuts work best
5 T flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 tsp. Vanilla
3 eggs

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.

Mix the first three ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Then add the remaining ingredients blending well.  Use a well-greased 9X13-baking pan and spread the mixture evenly.  Bake until slightly brown on top.  Remove from oven and allow to cool. Remove from pan.  Cut into 2-inch squares.
