1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
5 1/3 cups flaked coconut (about 14 ounces)
1 large 8-ounce package lime-flavored gelatin
1 cup ground, blanched almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract

unprepared gelatin, almonds, and almond extract. Mix well with a large mixing
spoon or rubber spatula. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for about an
hour or until mixture is firm enough to mold in your hands. Scoop by 1/2
teaspoonfuls and shape into various-sized booger balls. Place them on a baking
sheet, lined with a sheet of waxed paper. Make sure they are all slightly

sheet of waxed paper on your work surface and pour remaining unprepared lime
gelatin on the center of the waxed paper. Roll each ball in gelatin to coat well
and create a thin outer layer. Then place back on the baking sheet. Return
