Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups chopped dates
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup flaked coconut

Steps:

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add dates, sugar, and eggs; cook and stir until mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the skillet, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; add crispy rice cereal and pecans. Stir cookie dough until well-mixed.
