- In a large bowl combine together all ingredients except butter and mix these together well
- Cut in the butter and mix together until you have a crumbled mixture
- Firmly pack half of this mixture to the bottom of your pan
- Next layer on all the cooled date filling
- And sprinkle the remaining crisp on top and once all evenly coated, very gently press down to pack it a bit
