 Hey y'all it's Timmy with Colored Valley Cooks and today we're going to make these delicious and old fashioned dessert as a humding. It is dates, pecans, marshmallow cream, and rice crispy treat. It is a very delicious dessert. Or cookie. Old fashioned humdings. I am actually going to use marshmallows because it just makes a better sticky substance to me than trying to make one with sugar and butter. We're just going to use one stick of butter that's a half cup. Now you're going to need marshmallows and it's better to get miniature but I don't want to spend money when I've already got some at the house. So we're going to use a half bag. If you were using two sticks you could use ten ounces but we just really need five ounces for this recipe. Let's do twenty. Twenty large marshmallows. Stick a butter with twenty large marshmallows. These marshmallows are just going to melt and then we're going to whisk it together good. I'm going to use my little gravy whisk. Whisk this together. Now it's going to pour into a glossy candy. If you don't have a gravy whisk it's a good investment. They're not expensive just go on our website at www.coloredvalleycooks.com. You can't go wrong with a gravy whisk. Look how great that looks. We're going to pour this into our bowl over here. A cup of chopped pecans. This is not quite an eight ounce container of chopped dates. I didn't want to buy more so you can put the whole eight ounces in there if you want to. That was more like six and so I'm using two cups of Rice Krispies so we're going to mix this together. Make sure you get down in the bottom of the bowl with a nice spatula. It's already starting to want to harden so you need to get it mixed in there pretty good. Let me get me a good spoon and get all that good stuff off the bottom. Yummy that's good. Please by hand anyway so you may as well get your hands in it. Wash your hands real good and then get you some butter and rub it all over your hands and then start mixing this together good. You're going to have to form it into balls so you've got to use your hands anyway so you may as well just mix it with your hands instead of fooling with the mixer. Just make sure you're buttered good and just start kneading them together so that all of them is going to have that good candy in it. Look at that it looks delicious. This is an old fashioned candy recipe. It's really really delicious. We're going to take this nail and we're going to form it into balls and I'm just going to keep putting butter on my hands as I go. So you're just going to get a piece off about the size of a walnut and you're going to roll it. They're a lot like Rice Krispie treats except they have the pecans and the dates and then once they cool all the way down we're going to roll them in powdered sugar. Alright you can see all of our little humdings and we're going to roll these in powdered sugar once they get cooled down a little and it's fun to make. It's a fun recipe to make with your grandkids or your neighbors or whoever. Alright our date balls are ready to dip in powdered sugar for serving and they're really delicious. I even let the kids taste one and they didn't really know what was in them and they were like that's good. Tastes like a Rice Krispie treat and so that's what they really do taste like. So if you don't want the extra powder on them you can kind of knock them around a little. I'm going to put this on the plate and let you see how pretty it looks to serve. It looks like snow. Now this one does look like snow but these are humdings. A lot faster just to throw them all in a ziplock bag with some powdered sugar and shake them and then you would you could always do it that way. After you coat them take them over to the side and kind of you know move them around a little bit and beat off some of that so that when somebody picks it up they don't get it all over. They're pretty close at Christmas. I hope y'all had fun making these delicious old fashioned humdings today. You'll be amazed at how delicious they are if you give them a try. I'm going to taste one for you. When you open it up you can see how it will stretch. You can see how sticky and nice and gooey which is delicious and then the pecans are it's just really good dessert. They're good.
