Steps

25 mins

1

Take your dates lay them out and squeeze them a little sometimes they miss the pits.
2

Cut up your dates into little pieces watching for pits, I used scissors. Usually directly in the pot is easiest. Dates are very sticky.
3

Add to the pot of cut up dates, your butter, &sugar. Boil until smooth, &stir frequently. 15mins maybe, on medium high heat.
4

Once smooth, cool. Then add your mixture of egg, salt, and vanilla and milk. Then add your rice crispies. Mix together. Let it cool for awhile, dates get very hot.
5

Once cooled.. Take some butter and rub it in between your hands. Then take a teaspoon amount of the date mix and make balls. Then roll around in shredded coconut. Let cool on a plate or parchment paper. Enjoy👌
