Add sugar and 1 egg and beat at No. 8 speed for one minute. Add the other egg and beat one minute longer; then add hot water and vanilla and beat a few seconds, still using No. 8 speed. Turn to No. 1 speed and add 3/4 of the flour, which has been sifted with the baking powder and beat until well blended. Add dates, which have been mixed with the remaining flour, a little at a time. Scrape bowl, add nuts and beat a few seconds longer. Spread dough thinly in a long, shallow pan. Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) about 25 minutes. Cool; cut in strips about one inch wide and three inches long. Roll in sifted powdered sugar, if desired. *Raisins or prunes may be substituted, but should be soaked in water for about a half hour, then well drained. "Here's an answer to that oft-repeated wish, "If only I could think of something 'different' to pack in my next overseas package." These fruit bars have the qualities desired in foods for distant shipping - they keep well, will not crumble and are nutritious and palatable. This recipe was on the back of a card that read "Buy A War Bond NOW-for your SUNBEAM MIXMASTER after Victory" I have not tried this recipe but hope that someone will and be able to send it to someone who is now in another war.
