Hi Pat,

I don't know if this is close to what you're looking for without a description of the recipe, but maybe it's close...

Date Squares (using oatmeal)

FILLING:
2 cups chopped dates
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 tbsp. lemon juice

Combine all ingredients for filling. Simmer until thick (do not burn). Cool.

CRUMB MIXTURE:
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 3/4 cups oats
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter

Measure flour into bowl, add baking soda, stir in oats and brown sugar. Work in butter with fingertips. Put 1/2 mixture into lightly greased 9 inch square pan. Spread with filling. Sprinkle with remaining oat mixture.

Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into squares when cool.
