How to Make Date Snowballs

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted Medjool dates in a food processor and process until a sticky paste forms.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Whisk in 1 large egg.
  3. Add the date paste to the saucepan. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the dates are very soft and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 1 1/2 cups crushed Rice Krispies cereal (or your favorite cereal). Mix until well combined.
  6. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  7. Roll each ball in 1 cup of sweetened shredded coconut.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the snowballs to firm up.
