Dolly Is Cooking: Date Nut Balls

1 (8 oz.) pkg. dates, chopped

3/4 cup sugar

1 stick butter

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

2 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal

Powdered Sugar

Cook dates, sugar and butter, stirring constantly until butter is absorbed. Add nuts and pour hot mixture over rice cereal in a large bowl;

mix well. Form into small balls and dust with powdered sugar. Put several balls in a paper bag with powdered sugar. Shake until balls are coated.

I made 43 balls with this recipe. Your number may vary depending on size of yours.

I had to taste one

They seem to taste better with time.

Enjoy!
