A holiday tradition. My mother made these date balls every year at Christmas time. They may be stored in a plastic or glass container. If the weather is warm, keep them in the refrigerator. Make sure balls are cooled thoroughly before storing. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package chopped pitted dates |
1 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup margarine |
3 cups crispy rice cereal |
1 cup chopped pecans |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed |
Directions:
1. Cook and stir dates, sugar, and margarine in a large saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves; remove from heat. Fold crispy rice cereal, pecans, and vanilla extract into the date mixture until evenly mixed.
2. Grease your hands with margarine. Roll date mixture into 1-inch balls.
3. Spread confectioners' sugar into a shallow dish; roll date balls in confectioners' sugar to coat.
