Directions

Combine the raisins, dates, orange juice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Beat in the flour, baking soda and oats until the mixture is crumbly.
Press half the oat mixture into the prepared pan.
Spread the filling in an even layer over the oats.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the filling and press down lightly.
Bake the bars for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden.
Cut into 40 bars while still warm. Cool the bars completely and store them in an airtight container.
