An old recipe found on the back of the sweet. milk can. I make these every year as part of my candy/cookie gift boxes I give to family and friends for Christmas This is one of those you either like them or hate them. Read more . : ) Ingredients:
1 pkg. shredded coconut |
5 oz. walnuts (about 1-1/4 cups) |
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk 2 tbsp. sugar |
1 (3 oz. pkg.) strawberry jell-o |
red and green colored sugars |
Directions:
1. In a food processor or blender mix together coconut and nuts. Place in large mixing bowl.
2. Combine dry Jell-O ®, sugar and milk. Pour over coconut mixture. Mix well.
3. Take about a teaspoon of mixture and shape into a strawberry. (I roll in a ball first then shape) The trick to these is to not make them too big or it will take away the strawberry effect.
4. Gently roll in red sugar, then dip top of strawberry into green sugar. Place on a waxed paper covered cookie sheet to dry overnight.
5. Store in airtight container. These freeze well.
6. Makes about 5 or 6 dozen.
7. * Note* These are sticky. Wet hands a bit before shaping.
