Sylvia's Notes:
I didn't like dates until I tried this cookie. I also like rolling these in Coconut (I think they taste better).

Comments from the Test Kitchen:
These yummy no-bake cookies remind me of a wonderful date puff that I used to make years ago... simply divine. Directions
In a saucepan, over medium heat, cook the first 4 ingredients until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add Rice Crispies and pecans. Stir well.
Coat your hands in butter(this will help in rolling cookies into balls). Roll into small balls. If desired, roll in Angel Flake Coconut. Store in airtight container, separating into layers with wax paper or parchment paper.

I am so glad to see this recipe. My mother made these when I was a child as an annual Christmas treat; (we're talking in the 50's and 60's .. .a long time ago) When Mother died, I could not find this recipe anywhere in her collection. I am thrilled to see it again and know I can 'bring it back home.' Thank You Sylvia!

I make these all the time and everyone loves them! We like to keep them refrigerated so they're chilled. I like to eat these for breakfast! I usually use just 1/4 cup sugar as the dates are naturally very sweet.

My Gram called them "Fry Pan Cookies" & made them every Christmas. They are my favorite. She taught me how to make them when I was around 10 yrs old. She's been gone for ten years now, but I still have the recipe card in her handwriting. The only difference is she used walnuts instead of pecans. The smell & taste takes me back to her kitchen. I make them every holiday season. Thanks for sharing.
