Angel Delights Recipe
Angel Delights
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 ½ cups chopped pitted dates (8 oz.)
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups toasted rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1 cup shredded coconut
Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Combine butter, sugar and dates in a large saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted, the sugar is no longer white and the dates are mostly melted, 8 to 15 minutes. The mixture should be a shiny, brown sticky mass. Remove from the heat.
Add salt, vanilla, cereal and coconut; stir well to combine.
When cool enough to handle, squeeze and roll the mixture into 1- inch balls. Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until chilled. 4 dozen
