Sounds kinda weird...but they're really, really good!

INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):

PREPARATION:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9" x 13" pan.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
  • Remove from heat and add the four and sugar and mix well. Press this mixture firmly into the greased pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the confectioners' sugar and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the eggs, remaining 1/4 cup butter, peanut butter, dates, walnuts and water, and mix thoroughly.
  • Cool the baked crust for 5 minutes, then spread the date mixture over the crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
  • Melt the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips with the 1 tablespoon of shortening and spread over the baked crust and filling. If desired, sprinkle with additional chopped nuts. Cool completely and cut into bars.
