This is something my grandmother used to make each year for Christmas. When she passed, my mother took over the making of. These are sweet and chewy-crispy and usually don't last long.
1/4 Cup butter
1/2 Cup sugar
1 Cup chopped nuts
1 Cup chopped dates
2 Cup crisp rice
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
Coconut
In a double boiler, cook sugar, egg, dates, and butter until thick.
Remove from heat, add vanilla, nuts, and dates.
Mix together and let cool for 3 minutes.
Make slightly smaller than golf ball size drops, and roll in coconut.
We usually made a number of different colors of coconut with food dye.
