Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 1/3 cup unprepared lime gelatin (plus extra for coating)
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, flaked coconut, 1/3 cup of unprepared lime gelatin, almonds, and almond extract.
-
Mix Well: Stir the ingredients together until well combined using a large mixing spoon or rubber spatula.
-
Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to mold into balls.
-
Shape Booger Balls: Once the mixture has chilled, scoop out teaspoonfuls and shape them into various-sized balls. Embrace the uniqueness of each ball, just like every booger is unique and special.

Prepare Coating: Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Place a second sheet of waxed paper on your work surface and pour the remaining unprepared lime gelatin in the center.
-
Coat Balls: Roll each booger ball in the lime gelatin until well coated, creating a thin outer layer. Then, place them back on the lined baking sheet.
-
Refrigerate: Return the coated booger balls to the refrigerator for an additional hour before serving. Any extras can be stored in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
