Hum-Dinger Balls

Here's a recipe for Hum-Dinger Balls that are a Christmas candy tradition from when I was a girl.


This is a quick little candy recipe but tastes like it took a lot of work. My aunt used to make them and bring them for Christmas dinner. They always make me think of those happy past family times when I was younger.

• 2 sticks margarine, melted
  
• 1 can coconut
  
• 1 lb. dates
  
• 2 cups pecans
  
• 4 cup Rice Krispies
  
• 1 box brown sugar
  
• powdered sugar
  

1. Melt margarine.
   
2. Add dates and brown sugar and cook till well blended together.
   
3. Add the coconut, pecans, and Rice Krispies. Stir all together and form the mixture into balls.
   
4. Roll the balls in powdered sugar.
