Chewy Date Balls with Rice Cereal and Pecans
Ingredients
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces dates, pitted and chopped
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup crisp rice cereal
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Combine the butter, dates, sugar, and egg yolks in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a rolling boil. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes, then take it off the heat.
2
Add the rice cereal, pecans, and vanilla to the saucepan and stir until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool down sufficiently to be handled, approximately 5-10 minutes.
3
Once cooled enough to handle, shape the mixture into 24 small balls. Roll each ball in a layer of confectioners' sugar to coat.
