1 c. dates, cut up
1 c. sugar
1 c. bread crumbs (may use 3 slices white bread, finely cubed)
1 c. nuts, chopped
3 eggs

Beat eggs. Add sugar and mix. Add crumbs, dates, and nuts. Put in 7 inch square pan lined with waxed paper (2 sides of paper extending over opposite ends of pan for easier removal). Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and immediately loosen sides and remove from pan. Turn over onto plate and immediately peel off wax paper. Let cool. Frost with butter frosting, if desired. Makes 18 bars.
