follow her tradition with my 2 kids.)

already cut up in 8 oz. pkgs.)

1 tbl. milk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp vanilla
? c. chopped pecans
2 c. rice Krispies

Combine butter, sugar and dates in large (3 qt.) saucepan

Meanwhile, mix together well-beaten egg, milk, vanilla and
salt. Add to date mixture. Stir to combine and cook for only
2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. When cool stir in
nuts and cereal. Form into small balls and roll in coconut.
