Sweet Treat Nut Squares

Gluten free, dairy free, sugar free (uses maple syrup and dates).
Recipe comes from Food As Medicine which Inicked borrowed from my parents (and haven't yet received a directive to return) and which is very useful for vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free recipes that are absolutely delicious.

I wanted a snack that was a little less guilty than shortbread and biscuits and cake and sugary gummy fruit sweets, and found this recipe.

notes, thoughts, adjustments: I didn't have enough maple syrup, so I made up the difference with treacle (which is also cheaper than real maple syrup). The result is a bit stickier than I liked - it maybe needed more nuts, but is fine when kept in the fridge. I'll definitely make it again; it's been a tasty, lightly filling snack when the sweet tooth hits.
