Date-Coconut Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cubes of margarine
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 well beaten egg
2 cups of finely chopped dates

Preparation

Mix together and cook over a very low heat, bring to boil and boil 2 minutes, be very careful not to scorch.
Remove from heat and add 2 cups of rice Krispies and 2 cups of chopped nuts (we like walnuts but you can use pecans).
Mix well.
Cool a few minutes so you can roll a large teaspoonful into balls.
Then roll in coconut.
Be sure to work fast enough so your coconut will stick to the balls. These can be frozen in a tight container for several weeks.
They will also keep well in a tight container just for eating.
