Thanks Auntie Margaret

Several years ago I asked my aunt Margaret to share her 
recipe for Date Balls.
 I was never very fond of dates, but these Christmas Cookies are soooo good!


Date Balls

4 cups dates, pitted and chopped
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup butter, of course!

Cook all together over medium heat until well blended, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Add 8 cups crispy rice cereal. Cool slightly. Form into balls. I use a small cookie scoop and then roll them into ball shapes with "buttered" hands. Roll in coconut or leave plain. Makes 9 dozen. 

Enjoy with a glass of milk.


During this season of joy, the gift of health and happiness 
is easy to share with families in need through 
the Great American Milk Drive.

Share the goodness of milk with your local 
Feeding America food bank at 
Your donation will be matched gallon-for-gallon 
through December 31st.
