Date-Walnut Snack Bars

18 oz. pkg. yellow cake mix
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
2 cups chopped dates
2 cups chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Heat oven to 350. Generously grease a 13x9 pan. Combine cake mix and
brown sugar in large bowl, blend well. Add melted butter and eggs.
Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Stir in dates and nuts, blend well
(batter will be stiff). Spread evenly in greased pan. Bake 35-45
minutes or until edges are brown. Cool 10 minutes, run knife around
edge and cool completely. May use praline glaze (this makes the cake
to me).

PRALINE GLAZE
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Pet milk (a type of evaporated milk)

Mix all ingredients. Cook over low heat to 235 degrees. Beat lightly.
Pour over hot cake. May add nuts to glaze if desired.
