In a large bowl, combine vanilla wafers, walnuts and coconut. Mix well. Add sweetened condensed milk and rum. Chill 4 hours or overnight.
Dip palms of hands in confectioners' sugar. Shape chilled mixture by teaspoons into 1-inch balls. Roll in coconut, chopped nuts or leave plain. Re-chill if mixture becomes too soft. Cover and store in refrigerator.
If desired, re-roll in original coating before serving. |
