1/2 c. butter, melted
1 c. chopped dates
1 c. granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
3 c. Rice Krispies
1 c. chopped walnuts

Melt butter over medium heat and stir in granulated sugar. Add dates and continue stirring mixture. Add beaten egg and continue to cook over medium heat until mixture is clear (approximately 10 minutes). Remove from heat and add Rice Krispies and nuts. Cool slightly and roll into small balls. Roll in crushed nuts and store in tightly covered dish. These are an excellent Christmas cookie or any special or not-so-special occasion. Freeze and keep very well.
