These are beautiful! I used only 1/3 cup sugar and they were still very sweet. My family loved them and asked for more, will be making again soon! - 18 Jan 2012
I've been making these for years and they are always a huge hit. DO NOT boil longer than 3 minutes or it will turn into a crumbly mess that won't roll together. - 09 Feb 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These are a really nice holiday treat although you can enjoy it any time you choose. I've made this recipe for years, but the difference is that I use 1 cup sugar, 1 cup chopped dates, 1 egg, 1 stick of margarine, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 1/2 cups rice krispies, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. As I form the balls I roll it in coconut. If the mixture is too hot, the balls will not form correctly and if it is too cool the coconut won't stick like it should. The mixture should be cool enough to handle. - 05 Jan 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
