Citrus-infused date and walnut bars made with yellow cake mix.
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
  • 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
  • 2 cups chopped dates (from two 8-oz packages)
  • 2 cups chopped walnuts
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 325°F for a dark or nonstick pan), and generously coat the 15x10x1-inch pan with baking spray that includes flour.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cake mix, oats, butter, orange peel, and eggs until thick, about 1 minute. Add dates and walnuts, then spread the batter in the pan.
  • Bake for 22 to 26 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen. Let cool completely for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Cut into 8 rows by 6 rows to make bars. Store them covered.
