Fruit Squares - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup shredded coconut
2 cups cut-up mixed candied fruit
1 cup dates
1 cup nuts, coarsely chopped
1-15 oz can sweetened condensed milk (do not substitute)

Preparation

Melt butter in 15 1/2 X 10 1/2 X 1-inch jelly roll pan. Sprinkle on crumbs (tap sides of pan to distribute crumbs evenly). Sprinkle on coconut.
Distribute candied fruit as evenly as possible over the coconut.
Cut dates into a small amount of flour so they won't stick together.
Distribute dates over candied fruit. Sprinkle on nuts.
Press mixture lightly with hands to level pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
Bake in moderate oven (350\u00b0) for 25 to 30 minutes.
Cool completely before cutting.
Remove from pan.
Makes about 54 (1 1/2-inch) squares.
