Directions:

Then spread the mixture in the 9 X 11 pan & press down until the crust is evenly spread at the bottom of the pan. Press it so that there are no holes & it is patted evenly. Place in freezer until your caramel layer is done.
- Take each date & remove the pit. Then flatten the date with a knife then cut into tiny bite sized pieces. You will see the flatter you flatten the date & then start cutting, the date will start to becoming very pasty & you want that. Do this to all the dates & then add to a stove sauce pan.
