FDP Cookbook : Desserts : Crazy Aunt Peggy's Date Nut Balls
(submitted by 12BarBlues )

Ingredients

1 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
8 oz. chopped dates
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups Rice Krispies
1 cup chopped pecans
You'll also need some powdered sugar.

Directions

Boil butter, sugar, and dates for about 5 minutes, stirring. Remove from heat and add vanilla, Rice Krispies, and pecans. Mix and let cool (I pour it onto some wax paper). When it's cooled down a bit, form it into bite size balls. Sort of molding them with your hands works best, they don't roll well. When you've got them made into balls, roll 'em around in some powdered sugar until they're nice and covered, and voila! You're done.
