7 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cubes of margarine
  • 1 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 1 well beaten egg
  • 2 cups of finely chopped dates

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix together and cook over a very low heat, bring to boil and boil 2 minutes, be very careful not to scorch.
  2. 2
    Remove from heat and add 2 cups of rice Krispies and 2 cups of chopped nuts (we like walnuts but you can use pecans).
  3. 3
    Mix well.
  4. 4
    Cool a few minutes so you can roll a large teaspoonful into balls.
  5. 5
    Then roll in coconut.
  6. 6
    Be sure to work fast enough so your coconut will stick to the balls. These can be frozen in a tight container for several weeks.
  7. 7
    They will also keep well in a tight container just for eating.
