To Make Filling For Apricot Date Bars: Cook together the dates, drained cooked apricots, white sugar and apricot juice. Cook for about three minutes, or until it resembles jam. To Make Crust For Apricot Date Bars: Mix together melted shortening (part butter), brown sugar, all-purpose flour, baking soda, quick cooking oats, and vanilla. Press half of the crust mixture on bottom of well greased 9 x 12 x 2 inch pan. Cover with filling. Top with rest of crumbs. Press down gently. Bake Apricot Date Bars for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Apricot Date Bars consist of batter or other ingredients that are poured or pressed into a pan (sometimes in multiple layers), and cut into cookie-sized pieces after baking. Brownies are an example of a batter-type bar cookie, while Rice krispie treats are a bar cookie recipe that doesn't require baking
