An unbaked delicacy, prepared in your skillet, formed to look like strawberries, and tasting equally delicious, perhaps even more so.

1 (8 oz.) pkg. pitted dates, cut into sm. pieces
1/2 c. flaked coconut
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 stick butter (4 tbsp.)
1 slightly beaten egg
Dash of salt
2 c. Rice Krispies
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1 tsp. vanilla
2 sm. jars fine red sugar (about 4 oz.)
Green icing

Combine dates, coconut, sugar, butter, egg, and salt. Cook in skillet, stirring constantly until it bubbles and thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in Rice Krispies, walnuts and vanilla. Let cool 10 minutes. Dip hands in water and, using one tablespoon mix, form into strawberry shapes. Roll in red sugar. Using green colored icing, place a small green stem at end. Cool and serve your special guests for any special even. Makes 40-50 berries.
