Grape/Date Squares

Ingrediants:

Instructions:

1. Mix dry ingrediants together in a large bowl.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave.
3. Mix the melted butter and water into the dry ingrediants. You will probably have to use your hands. If it is too dry, add a bit more water.
4. Press 2/3 to 3/4 of the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour the grape filling into the pan. Spread it around evenly.
6. Drop the remainder of the crust onto the filling in peices no larger than a quarter. You can't really spread them once they are on because they are to stiff and the filling is too squisy. When you are down to small pieces and loose oats, just sprinkle them on.
7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes.
8. Allow to cool and cut into squares. If you have big chunks of crust on top, you may have to cut around them.

Notes:

• Using all butter for the top doesn't work, despite polar/non-polar bonds. The original recipie had 1 cup (250 mL) butter and 1/2 cup (125 mL) water, but it was too dry to mix. More experiments needed.
• You can use other fillings in place of grape. One possibility is date filling.
• In my opinion, the squares are better cool than hot. They also freeze well.
