This is a yummy holiday treat. Give it a go!

1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 pound of chopped dates, pinch of salt. Throw all of this stuff in a saucepan and cook until bubbly (about 5 minutes), stirring constantly.

Next, mix together 1 egg, 1 tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla. Add to the date mixture and cook for 2 minutes. Let this mixture cool and add 1/2 cup chopped nuts and 2 cups of crispy rice cereal. Form into balls and roll in either coconut or finely chopped nuts. Layer them in an airtight container between sheets of waxed paper. Decadent!

Note: Will probably want to grease your hands with shortening or spray them with nonstick spray before forming these balls. Keeps things from getting stickier than necessary.
