FRUITCAKE SQUARES 
6 tbsp. butter
1 c. shredded coconut
1 c. dates
1 c. nuts, coarsely chopped
1 (15 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
2 c. cut-up mixed candied fruit

Melt butter in 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 Pyrex pan. Sprinkle on crumbs (top sides of pan to distribute crumbs evenly). Sprinkle on coconut. Distribute candied fruit on evenly as possible over coconut.

Cut dates into a small amount of flour so they won't stick together. Distribute dates over candied fruit. Sprinkle on nuts. Press mixture lightly with hands to level it in pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over top.

Cook in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting. Makes 54 (1 1/2-inch) squares.
