Rice Krispies Date Balls (Aka Angel Cookies) image

Another recipe from my Aunt's recipe clippings. This one also came from the Sept 19, 1969 Chicago Tribune originally. The clipping is crinkled with old yellow tape holding it together to make sure the recipes stayed intact. :) These are not like the typical angel cookies at all - they are little balls of dates, coconut, and Rice Krispies rolled in powdered. Don't use the prechopped dates as they aren't sticky enough - buy the whole pitted dates and chop them yourself. Also be sure to use the canned coconut..the kind that comes in bags is too dry and you will have a hard time getting the cookies to roll up otherwise.

These date balls were a bit too dry for my liking. I would recommend adding more butter or oil to the mixture.

I found these date balls to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or sugar.
