These bars are delicious...they are very moist and hold together very well when cut. I have been looking for a moist date and nut bar for quite some time and this is the one! I made pretty much per the recipe with the exception of increasing the cinnamon to 1/4 teaspoon and adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla. I did not roll them in confectioner's sugar, I just put a light dusting on the top. The next time I make them, I may reduce the cup of sugar slightly as they were quite sweet.
