No race is complete without the checkered flag.

Pecan Rice Krispies Balls

Pecan Rice Krispies Balls



Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it boils:

1/2 cup butter (NOT SPREAD)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 lb. dates (8oz = 1 cup)
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbls milk or cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
1/2 cup pecans
2 cups rice krispies~or store brand
Flake coconut for rolling date balls

Melt butter in 2 quart sauce pan, add sugar, dates, beaten egg, milk
and vanilla, salt, <optional.

( Got a request to explain adding the egg,
                             ~ if the butter is to hot it will cook the egg,~
        and have no holding power for the cookie/candy, so here's how I do it)

                                                  *   *
                                                    \/

~*~ Set the egg out (table, counter) when you begin the process of making your cookies/candy,
                          (it can warm some, if it's not fresh)

break egg into small container, and whisk with a fork,
                         (you can use a fancy kitchen gaget, but a fork works)

I add cream to the egg, and whisk it in,
                         (cause I'm lazy)

Remove the butter/sugar mixture from fire, and cool slightly; with spoon from stirring the butter and sugar constantly, VERY slowly, drizzle a small amount of warm butter/sugar mixture into egg/cream mixture, whisking together to combine; after egg mixture has warmed; re-warm butter/ sugar mixture on LOW heat and add egg/cream concoction, cook for about 3 minutes. Follow the rest of the recipe.)

Thanks Virginia R. XOXO  ~ ; o P
