These succulent squares are fruit-studded brownie-like confections that are part cake, part cookie, and entirely delicious! They’re moist and tender, and since they draw a lot of their sweetness from fruit, they satisfy your cravings without being overly sweet.

1-1/4 cups water
1 cup chopped dates
3/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dark raisins
8 tablespoons margarine, cut into pieces
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour

Remove from heat and add margarine, stirring until all the margarine is melted. Cool to room temperature, then mix in eggs and vanilla.
