No-Bake Fruit Cake (using graham cracker crumbs and sweetened condensed milk)

This light fruit cake is a snap to prepare and keeps well in the refrigerator for weeks.

1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with waxed paper.

Mix all the ingredients together, first with a spoon and then with hands, until the crumbs are thoroughly moistened. Pack securely into pan. Cover tightly. Chill at least two days before slicing.

To serve: slice thinly or cut into small cookie squares.
