Ingredients

  • 14 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 12 cups chopped pitted dates (8 ounces)
  • 18 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups toasted rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
  • 1 cup shredded coconut

Method

  • Combine butter, sugar and dates in a large saucepan.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted, the sugar is no longer white and the dates are mostly melted, 8 to 15 minutes.
  • The mixture should be a shiny, brown sticky mass.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Add salt, vanilla, cereal and coconut; stir well to combine.
  • When cool enough to handle, squeeze and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  • Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Refrigerate until chilled.
