Receta Date Bites
Do you love to date? Nope, not that kind of date, but the kind you eat.
If so, you’ll absolutely love these date bites — I do! These delicious Date Bites were originally known as Matrimonial Bars. Sometime in history, they became known as date bars or bites if you cut them as small as I do.

I could literally eat the whole batch. Well maybe not the whole batch. Well maybe just not in one day.
I bet these would be great to have around the holidays too.
Well any day of the week is a great time to have these Date Bites. Right?
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
