Date Squares or Matrimonial Squares

Welcome to Good Friday. I did my baking yesterday, but I'll show these to you today. These are a favorite of my husband, which is odd, considering they don't contain any chocolate! We call them Date Squares but I use the Company's Coming 150 Delicious Squares recipe on page 50 called Matrimonial Squares.

I first made them years ago and noted that they were greasy when using margarine. I made this latest batch with butter, and I used slightly less than the 1 cup they called for. They are just right! They are easy to make - not fussy at all. My husband would be the first to say they should be cut bigger! I made 36 from the 9x9 pan, but I think he'd like it better if I cut it into 16 squares instead!
