Ingredients

1 cup dates, medjool (pitted)
1⁄2 cup maple syrup
2 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup walnuts
2 cups Rice Crispies
1 1⁄3 cups coconut, unsweetened (shredded)

Instructions

Heat dates, maple syrup, and eggs in a medium-size heavy-bottomed pot. Stirring frequently, heat until the mixture froths and bubbles and the color changes to a light gold. Immediately turn off the heat. Stir in vanilla, chopped nuts, and rice crispies. Allow to cool. Wet your hands and then shape into small ¾-1” balls. Roll in coconut. (You may have to rinse your hands partway through.) Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
