Coconut Rum Balls

From the kitchen of: Alicia Corbin
1 (12 oz) pkg. vanilla wafers, crushed fine

1 1/3 c. flaked coconut
1 c. finely chopped walnuts
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 c. rum (coconut rum works well)
1 c. flaked coconut

1. In a large bowl, toss together the crushed vanilla wafers, 1 1/3 c. coconut and walnuts. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and rum; mix well. Refrigerate for 4 hours in a tightly covered container. 2. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls (you may want to wear plastic gloves) and roll the balls in the remaining coconut. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.

--These keep very well and the flavor only gets better over time
