I haven't made these for years.. got the recipe off my grandmother sometime during the 70's... love it though.. I don't remember them being so hard to do or for the coconut to stick... i think this is the same recipe.. i'll have to look at mine but they were yummy.... wonder if scissors were used to cut up dates for one?
