A very calm and collected way of speaking mixed with the in-depth tutorial, makes you, in my eyes, a role model to any and all aspiring TH-cam chefs.

Thank you Joy for your lovely message and for stopping by, this is a lovely recipe and one of my favourite squares. I love to braid my hair but I've cut it a little shorter now and usually just tie it back now. Stay safe and thank you. Bonita
These are great to take on a hike or long bike ride. In fact, they are often on the snack table at water stations during organized gran fondo rides. They provide great energy and pack well.
That is so great! They are the best for sure and it's so lovely to know it's still an enjoyable snack. We loved these years ago when we were kids, but our parents only made them at Christmas time.Thank you so much for stopping by. Bonita
Yes I loved that oven, but I don't have that one now it ran its course and needed to be replaced. Thank you for stopping by and we have many recipes you can check out including our new oven. Visit www.bonitaskitchen.com :) Bonita
That is so wonderful, date squares is one of my favourite snacks. They are so healthy for you as well, thank you for sharing your message with us. Have a lovely day. :) Bonita
Our friends in Quebec always made these as ‘shore lunch’ treats for my boys. This is a bit different recipe, but oh, sooooo good, and each bite brings back wonderful memories. Believe it or not, I use kitchen shears to cut up my dates into small pieces!
Nice! Thank you Kathy for sharing your kitchen tip and I will remember that for the next time I cut the pitted dates. I'm so glad you enjoyed our old fashion date square recipe and thank you for letting me know. :) Bonita
Thank you Dean, this is a old video but the date squares are amazing. Did you try the peach cobbler on our site I'm thinking you will like that one too. Enjoy your peaches and thank you for leaving a message,. :) Bonita
crow 43 thank you for your message, and visiting my channel. These date squares are very easy to make and you can't eat just one, I usually make them in Christmas time or special occasions. 😊 Bonita
Hi Debby: Thank you for your message, coconut gives it a nice taste. My mom would make it like this and I guess I continued on, but you can leave it out if wish. Have a wonderful day and enjoy. Bonita
This looks really good, Bonita. I have only worked with Dates a couple of times. I am happy that You have shown Us how to make a Yummy dessert. I know that dates at least the ones that I bought; were very sweet. I was thinking that is why they don’t have any confectioners sugar(powdered sugar) or any type of a glaze on them. These do look DELICIOUS!!! Thank You again, Bonita for sharing Your talents with Us. God Bless You and Your's. ✝️🙏🏽😊👍🏼❤️💕👋🏼
You are very welcome Dalaine, you can also leave out the sugar if you wish to have less sweetness. But these are so tasty and my moms favourite. Enjoy and thank you so much. :) Bonita
Oh! I subscribed - I was born in the late 40's in Maine.You have many recipes from my childhood .My NaNa ,and my mom showed me how to cook.When I met my wife in 1970 I found out she was not a cook !! So ,I didn't mind being the cook for her and our two boy's. Sadly, I lost her in 2006 the day after Christmas ,so now I cook for myself .God Bless
Phillip thank you for visiting Bonita's kitchen and subscribing, so sorry to hear about your wife. I have over 32 recipes on youtube to date of our traditional Newfoundland cooking and baking.

Phillip Washburn I was born and raised in Maine as well. I'm so sorry for your loss and I know what it is like to cook for one. are usually end up cooking for six and freeze a bunch of me old I also share with people I know. bless and be well.
Elizabeth Shaw Hi Elizabeth , thank you for those kind words.One of my closest buddies was named Gerald Shaw.We grew up in Exeter,Maine and then went to EastCorinth Academy.....63-67 . He stopped in our Junior year ,And went into the Army . He died before I got out in 1970 ! May this find you well....Blessings
Phillip Washburn oh no need to thank me. I think it is what any decent human being would and should do. Well you were quite a ways from me. I was born and raised in Portland well into the suburbs a mile or so from Westbrook and the Windham line. I'm so sorry to hear about your buddy! I lost my dad 4 years ago and it's always painful to lose people. Hopefully we meet new people who make us smile. Are you still in Maine or did you move away? I moved overseas with the intention of never coming back but somehow I ended up back. You take good care of yourself and be well :-)
Elizabeth Shaw When I got out of the Army in June 1970....I went back to be with my mom for two months .Then I moved to Connecticut ,to work for my Aunt & Uncle.Thats when I met my wife to be on Memorial Day '71. We were wed in '73 and had two sons .I share an apartment with my oldest son in Naugatuck ,Connecticut .My youngest son lives in Wallingford ,Connecticut about 25 miles away. Hope you are well ...God bless :-)
HI Dean,, Thank you so much for your message and we hope you enjoy your date squares to the fullest.. This is our favourite Christmas dessert. So good!! Merry Christmas :) Bonita
I made these today. They were tasty but very thin. I used the pan sizes that were used in the video. Next time I make them I will use probably a 9 by 13 rectangular pan and probably a square pan. I used parkay margarine too instead of the unsalted butter because I didn't have any butter. I don't know if this changed the way the base turned out? Anyhow they are tasty but thin, so my sister who I was baking them for will have thin date squares and hopefully next year I will get it right. Thanks for sharing!
Such a joy, ty for this a bunch you gave me back my grandmoms same version with the coconut, but she also ground walnuts. Xox love your kitchen, that oven is sexy swinging to the side. Love it. And is that a microwave on top?
Hi Paris: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting our channel, I'm glad you enjoyed our recipe and my oven is now put to rest because it broke down and couldn't be fixed. I have a new one but it opens down, :( also that is a microwave about the stove. Enjoy your day. :) Bonita

Hi Marie: Thank you so much for your message, I've only made them with baking powder so I don't know if there is a difference but they taste delicious. I hope this helps and enjoy. Bonita
Hi bonita how r u I spoke to u about a mary Brown's fried chicken and wedges recipe I was wondering if u posted it it cause I believe u said it would be sometime in August just want to know if u had the chance to do it yet Thanks Darren
Hi Darren, Thank you for stopping by and yes I remember you asking for that recipe. It will be posted this Sunday so don't forget to stop back and have your chicken, potatoes, deep fryer and oil ready to go. :) Bonita
@@darrenrose7827 Yes, we make it lots over the pass few years. We lived away and didn't have access to Mary Brown Chicken, this was our go to meal. So tasty and crispy! :) Bonita
Good Questions? thank you for stopping by and for leaving a message. The extra sugar added to the dates don't stand out only blend in. If you don't want to have that extra sugar leave it out, the same as any recipe. I hope that helps and enjoy to the fullest and have a wonderful weekend. :) Bonita
Oh just thought I should mention that in your video you say for filling mixture add 2 tbsp butter but in recipe above it reads 3 tbsp butter. Also for crust in video you say add 2 tbsp of baking powder but in recipe above it reads 2 tsp. I went by what was in the video because I had not seen the recipe above. Which is right? Also would using a glass dish make a difference?
Hi Madonna, Sorry for the confusion sometimes when I'm making my videos i will say the wrong amount, or the wrong word, but when I'm writing the recipe I try to write in the amount that is needed. We are taping it live and it's very hard to go back and retake it. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have cost, and thank you for pointing this out and visiting Bonita's kitchen. Bonita
+Bonita's Kitchen You can use a glass dish, but line the bottom with parchment paper to stop it from burning, and also using alittle more butter in this recipe will be ok. I just finished making some for Christmas and can't wait to have one.
+Bonita's Kitchen I appreciate your reply and now I know why the date squares turned out like they did. It is because I added 2 tbsp. baking powder as you said in the video. I didn't even know the recipe was there I stumbled on that by accident. I watched your video today a number of times to make sure I was doing everything as I should. I added 3 times the amount of baking powder that I should of and according to what I have read on the internet this is why the base was so flat. I have to throw everything in the garbage now and lost so much time. Please review your videos before posting so this does not happen again.
@@madonnagulliver4702 guess your not much of a cook!! cause common sense woulda told you it sounds like too much!! also don't you google a few recipes or are you a lazy gop ..who never does homework, but loves being negative to a nice elder ? did you give 8 thumbs down only trolls who have no life.. are like you
Hi and thank you for your message, this is an old recipe and I guess that's the way my mom and grandma made it. You can leave the sugar out and have only the date. When making any of our recipes I always say make it your own and make small changes that meet your dietary needs. It won't change the taste of the recipe. Enjoy and we post a new recipe every Sunday if you wish to stop back. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Certainly, will do. Love Mum and grandma's recipes - and will definitely make it their way. But I was just wondering if there was any difference in taste ( apart from being very sweet) given that dates are quite sweet in themselves. Just a wandering and wondering thought!!!!
@@carefreedelight2355 I don't think it would change the taste only be less sweet. My Mom would put the sugar and salt dish on the table with every meal. I guess because they made things from scratch and not from a cookbook. Sometimes when I make them and I don't have enough brown sugar I just leave it out of the dates. Please follow up if you make those changes and let me know. :) Enjoy Bonita

Why do you need sugar to add to the dates . They are usually very sweet
Hi and thank you for your message, this is an old recipe and I guess that's the way my mom and grandma made it. You can leave the sugar out and have only the date. When making any of our recipes I always say make it your own and make small changes that meet your dietary needs. It won't change the taste of the recipe. Enjoy and we post a new recipe every Sunday if you wish to stop back. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Certainly, will do. Love Mum and grandma's recipes - and will definitely make it their way. But I was just wondering if there was any difference in taste ( apart from being very sweet) given that dates are quite sweet in themselves. Just a wandering and wondering thought!!!!
@@carefreedelight2355 I don't think it would change the taste only be less sweet. My Mom would put the sugar and salt dish on the table with every meal. I guess because they made things from scratch and not from a cookbook. Sometimes when I make them and I don't have enough brown sugar I just leave it out of the dates. Please follow up if you make those changes and let me know. :) Enjoy Bonita
