history: Going through Grandma's recipes. I was looking through my Grandma's old recipes the other day. Aw that's so sweet. Did you find one to make? Yes.  As a child we always called them "date balls"_comma_ but I recently discovered they're actually called "Skillet Cookies".
current: Sound interesting! It's a cookie or is it cake-like?
next: It's dates melted with butter and sugar, then you add rice crispies.  You make a ball and roll them in coconut.  I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but they were one of my favorites at Christmas.
