Date-Nut Fingers

Well, thanks for coming back and joining me

We're almost ready to wrap this cocktail party up. I can't hardly wait to fix these for you

But before we start this, I wanna come down here and get the date nut finger started

I'm gonna take a stick and a half of butter and I'm gonna put it in our sauce pan

along with two eggs, two cups of granulated sugar, All right, now we're gonna mix this up and we're gonna let that butter melt and then I'm

gonna throw in one eight-ounce package of chopped dates. This is the healthy ingredient to this yummy snack

All right, now we would cook this for about 10 minutes. it comes to a boil. We would cut down our heat, stirring it constantly, cook it for 10 minutes

Well, I've already got a pot up here that I've cooked for 10 minutes. So all we're going to do

at this point is add a cup of chopped pecans and a cup and a half of a rice type cereal

and a tablespoon of vanilla. All right So we just going to mix these up real good All Alright so we going to pour this in our bowl Watch it Gertie

I'm not disturbing your nap, am I? Alright, we're just going to let that cool just for a few minutes

Now, there's a couple of ways you could do this. you could butter your hands so that it won't stick because it's a little bit of a messy job

But I've got some ice water that I'm going to dip my hands in because when I go to pick this up

it'll help cool off the date nut stick as well as keeping it off my fingers

okay now what we're going to do at this point is I have some sweetened flaked coconut

and roll them in the coconut see how pretty those look and to let people know what they're going to be biting into

I'm just going to pile up some dates right in the center

And look how pretty they look
