These are so
easy to make and provided you like nuts and dates we can
guarantee that you will love them, we're sure they'll be
on your table at Christmas.
Thanks to Peter from Ipswich for this recipe he also told me
the story behind it. "Doris was a London lady who supported
West Ham and remembered having these when she was young, the origin
of their name is however a mystery. Doris was a member of
the Mothers Union / WRVS in fact if there were a
ladies group she would be a member. In her late 80's she
joined her local indoor bowling club & was known as Demon
Doris. A player would be at the far end & tell her where they
wanted the ball to be and she had an uncanny way of being exact.
Unfortunately her age limited the number of games she could play
each night."
Ingredients
- 1 box of sticky dates
- 1 pack of almond nuts
- 1 pack of desiccated coconut
Method
- Rinse Hands.
- Remove stones from date & replace with an almond.

This has to be the easiest recipe by far and no baking
involved.
