Ingredients
-
1 cup finely chopped dates
-
1/2 cup water

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray an 8-x-8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine dates and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Set aside.

In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse Krispy Kreme Cinnamon Twist Doughnut pieces until mixture looks like bread crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a bowl and add oats, brown sugar, soda, salt, butter, egg, and walnuts; stir to combine.

The distinctive flavor of honey comes through in these coconut and walnut bars drizzled with powdered sugar icing. Make and freeze the bars, without the icing, for as long as one month. Drizzle them with icing right before serving.
