Dates and Coconut Squares

My husband loves these squares, he likes to have it with his coffee in the morning.When I make this recipe it is usually gone in 2 days. This recipe is very simple and quick to make.I don't add any sugar to the recipe because the sweetness in the dates is enough.

Ingredients:

25 tea biscuits broken into small bite size  pieces
1 stick melted butter (cooled)
10 oz pitted dates
1/2 cup coconut flakes divided

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
In food processor, add dates and process until finely diced.
In a mixing bowl ,add the bite size biscuits, dates, butter and 1/4 cup coconut flakes. With your hands combine well, until well combined.
Grease an 8 inch square baking dish ( or a 9x5inch) and spread the mixture while pressing well.
Bake for 10 to 15 mins. ( just before it browns).
Top with the remaining 1/4 coconut flakes.
Let it cool and then place in fridge.
Let it chill before cutting in squares so it doesn't fall apart.
Store in fridge.
