Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 large eggs - whisked
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup dates - chopped
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup pecans - chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups puffed rice cereal
  • 8 ounces shredded, sweetened coconut (about half a bag)

Instruction

  • In a medium-size pot, melt butter. Add-in eggs, sugar, dates and salt. Cook over low heat until mixture has thickened, about 10-12 minutes. Using the back of a wooden spoon or spatula, mash dates into the mixture.
  • Remove from heat and add the pecans, rice cereal, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Using a medium-size cookie scoop, measure out the mixture, and roll into balls. Roll in coconut, pressing some of the coconut into the ball. **Keep hands damp with water to make rolling the balls easier.
  • Place balls on parchment. Let cool completely. Store covered until ready to enjoy.
