Frances Van Vynckt, 78, combined dates, toasted rice cereal and coconut into an easy no-bake treat that won EatingWell's 2008 cookie contest.
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter
-
1 cup sugar
-
1 1/2 cups chopped pitted dates, (8 ounces)
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 cups toasted rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
-
1 cup shredded coconut
Directions
1.
Combine butter, sugar and dates in a large saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted, the sugar is no longer white and the dates are mostly melted, 8 to 15 minutes. The mixture should be a shiny, brown sticky mass. Remove from the heat.
2.
Add salt, vanilla, cereal and coconut; stir well to combine.
3.
When cool enough to handle, squeeze and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until chilled.
Tip:
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
