Miller & Rhoads Tearoom Stovetop Date Balls Recipe

Step by Step Method

In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter.

Add the sugar and dates.

Bring to a boil stirring constantly.

Boil 2 minutes stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat and let cool slightly (approximately 5 minutes).

In a bowl, beat the egg, vanilla and milk.

Add to the date mixture.

Cook on high another 2 minutes, stirring.

Remove from the heat and add the cereal and pecans.

When cool enough to handle, use your buttered hands to form into 1-inch balls.

If you pick up a handful of batter and hold it for a minute or so, it hardens slightly and becomes easier to shape.
