COATING
Centers: In large bowl, combine dates, nuts, coconut and cream of coconut.
Knead lightly until well blended. Drop by level tablespoonfuls onto waxed-paper-lined cookie sheets. Shape into logs. Chill until firm (about 30 minutes).
Coating: Combine over hot (not boiling) water, Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate morsels and vegetable shortening. Stir until morsels are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat but keep over hot water.

Sprinkle each log with about ⅛ teaspoonful chopped nuts. Chill until set (about 15 minutes). Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes about
1-½ dozen logs.
