Buttery Dried-Fruit Bars

These sweet, fiber-rich fruit bars are delicious eaten slightly warm with frozen yogurt, but they also make a wholesome lunch box treat. You can make the dough a week ahead and store it in the refrigerator, but the filling is easiest to spread the day it is made. Look for very moist dried figs and dates.
