This is a delicious treat that I prepare every Christmas to include in my candy assortments that I give as gifts. They're absolutely delicious and people are constantly asking for the recipe. Ingredients:
1/4 cup margarine |
2/3 cup white sugar |
1 egg, beaten |
1 (8 ounce) package dates, pitted and finely chopped |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups crispy rice cereal |
3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped |
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. Combine the margarine, sugar, egg, and dates in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thick, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
2. Combine the crispy rice cereal and the walnuts in a large bowl. Stir in the date mixture; mix well.
3. Working quickly, form the cereal and date mixture into 1 inch balls. Roll balls in coconut. Store in an airtight container in a cool place. Do not refrigerate.
