Recipe Introduction


Delicious!


List of Ingredients





1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups sugar
8 ounces chopped dates
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal (recommended: Rice Krispies)
3 cups finely grated coconut
 


Recipe



In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the eggs, sugar, and dates. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla, pecans, and cereal. Cool and shape into finger-sized sticks. Roll the sticks in coconut.


**I kept a small bowl of ice water close by, and dipped my fingers in it while shaping the fingers.
