If you just happened to drop by Mama’s at Christmastime, you might have been one of the lucky ones to enjoy some of her candy treats. My favorite was her divinity candy with lots of chopped pecans. But these “Crispy Coconut Date Balls” are also delicious!
1 8 oz package pitted dates—chop fine
½ Cup butter or margarine, softened
1 C. sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
3 C crisp rice cereal
1 Cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Roll in 2 Cups flaked coconut
Combine dates, sugar, butter, and eggs in sauce pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until dates are dissolved, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. When mixture has cooled add nuts and rice crispies. Shape into balls the size of walnuts, and roll into coconut to coat. Makes about 6 dozen balls. DELICIOUS!!
