My Grandmother used to make these, especially for my Mother. She made them around Holiday time.
They are just so yummy.
4 1/2 C powdered sugar
2/3 C sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 t vanilla
1/4 t salt
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
4 dozen whole pitted dates
Granulated sugar
Mix powdered sugar, milk and vanilla and salt and if using, pecans. Kneed until well blended. Place in a bowl and refrigerate overnight.
When ready, use a knife to make a slit lengthwise down the date, like a little pocket and stuff it with some of the fondant mixture. Close the date a little, leaving the stuffing showing and then roll in the granulated sugar all over. Repeat . Makes 4 dozen
