Directions
Melt the butter in a skillet, add sugar and dates. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes – so all is melted and mixed together.

Let cool (important so you don't cook the egg). Add egg, salt, vanilla, and milk. Turn up the heat again and stir for another 3 minutes or so.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add rice krispies and nuts. Let cool for another 5 – 10 minutes.

Roll into little balls, and roll balls in coconut. Store date balls in freezer.
