Date Nut Balls:
2 cups Rice Krispies
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/3 cup butter, cubed
1 package (8 ounces) pitted dates, finely chopped
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, optional
In a large bowl, combine Rice Krispies and pecans (or walnuts). In a large saucepan, combine butter, dates and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is combined well and dates are very soft.
Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour over Rice Krispies mixture; stir to coat. When cool enough to handle, press into 1-1/4-in. balls. Cool. If desired, roll in confectioner's sugar. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
p.s. some people like to roll them in coconut instead of the powdered sugar. I prefer the sugar so they look like snow balls.This is my most requested Christmas cookie/candy.
