Crusty Booger Balls Recipes

CRUSTY BOOGER BALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut, 1/3 cup of the 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 ½ 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 different, just as each and every booger is unique and special.
• Place a second 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 boogers to the refrigerator for and hour before serving, and store any extras in the refrigerator.

BOOZE BALLS

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on medium for 1 minute. Stir and repeat until the chocolate melts, about 3 minutes in all, depending on the power of your microwave. Alternatively, put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan (without touching the water). Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
• Process the cookies in a food processor until finely ground. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups ground cookies.) Alternatively, put the cookies inside a heavy resealable plastic bag and crush by moving a rolling pin over the cookies.
• Stir the cookie crumbs, dried plums, confectioners' sugar, bourbon and condensed milk into the chocolate until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate the mixture until firm enough to roll into balls, about 45 minutes.
• Scoop a tablespoon or so of the mixture at a time into a small ball with a cookie or small ice cream scoop and set onto a baking sheet or large plate. Roll each portion by hand into a smooth ball.
• Store the booze balls in an airtight container at room temperature for a day to allow the flavors to come together. Store the balls in the refrigerator for a week or freeze for up to 1 month. Roll in decorating sugars or wafer crumbs and serve.

CURRIED FOWL BALLS

Steps:

• Mix rice, onion, curry powder, water, tortilla chips, vegetable oil, garlic, salt, and tarragon together in a bowl; add turkey and mix until thoroughly combined. Form mixture into 1-inch balls.
• Preheat oven to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat; add butter. Put about 12 balls in the melted butter and press each ball into a 1/2-inch thick patty using the back of a spatula. Cook until no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer cooked patties to an oven-safe plate and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining balls, adding more butter as needed.

CRISPY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place meatballs an a greased rack in a shallow pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 30 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink.

HAM BALLS

Steps:

• (3 batches of sauce is best when filling a crockpot with a double batch of balls) Ham Balls: Mix all together, gradually adding milk at the end to moisten enough to form balls.
• Bake balls on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, drain fat and cool.
• Sauce: Mix togther, heat and simmer 10 minutes until well blended.
