Ding Bats

As long as I can remember these were made at Christmas time only! It was my brother and my favorite cookie. I could eat a whole tin by myself.

Ding Bats

1C. Sugar

1 lb chopped dates

1 egg beaten

1/4 C. Butter

2 C. Rice Crispies

1/2 C. chopped nuts

Shredded sweetened coconut

In a large bowl put cereal and nuts and mix together.

Mix together the sugar, dates, butter, and eggs over low heat. You will need to stir it up well so you don't cook the egg. Do this for 10-12 min. and add to the cereal and nuts.

Let the mixture cool till its warm and still workable, I grab some coconut in one hand and drop a teaspoon of the mixture on the coconut grab more coconut in the other hand and roll into a ball. Let them cool and try with all your might to only eat one!!
