Date Nut Balls

I found this hidden gem of a recipe in a library book several years ago. It is always the first to go in my christmas goody baskets.

In electric skillet set at 300 degrees , cook butter , sugar , dates and egg until gooey and thickened.

About 7-10 min.

Add pecans and vanilla.

Then add rice krispies.

Mix well.

Cool until slightly warm.

Form into balls & roll in powdered sugar.

Makes 50-60 small balls.
