Yield: 1 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Stick butter or margarine |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 1 cup | Chopped pecans |
| 1 pack | (8 oz) dates |
| 4 cups | Rice Krispies |
| Salt | |
| Vanilla extract | |
| Coconut or powdered sugar |
Combine butter, sugar, egg, and dates in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until just starting to boil. Add pecans; cook 10 minutes. Continue stirring. Remove from heat. Add dash of salt, vanilla, and Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread into a buttered 9x13 pan. Sprinkle top with coconut or powdered sugar. Cut into bars or small squares when cool.
Note: We make these cookies as a bar, but the original recipe called for making 1-inch balls and rolling them in coconut or powdered sugar. They are certainly more decorative as balls, but spreading them in a pan tastes just as good.
