These date balls are a holiday tradition in our family. My mother made these delicious date balls with pecans and crisped rice cereal every year at Christmas.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package pitted dates, chopped
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Place dates, sugar, and margarine in a large saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and fold in crispy rice cereal, pecans, and vanilla extract until evenly mixed.
Step 2
Roll date mixture into 1-inch balls using lightly greased hands; allow balls to cool.
Step 3
Spread confectioners' sugar into a shallow dish; roll date balls in confectioners' sugar to coat.
Tips
Store date balls in a plastic or glass air-tight container. If the weather is warm, keep them in the refrigerator.
