Directions

1. Mix dates, sugar and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.  Stir as the butter melts then remove from heat.
2. Place the egg in a small bowl and whisk well with a fork, add milk, vanilla and salt. Add to the date mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring until the dates are soft and all the ingredients are blended together. Remove from heat and stir in the nuts.
3. Cool for five minutes then stir in the Rice Krispies.
4. When cool enough to handle, form into 1 inch balls or use small ice-cream scoop sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Then roll in finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
