How to Make Crusty Booger Balls

In a large bowl, combine 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 (14-ounce) package shredded sweetened coconut, 1/3 cup unflavored gelatin powder, 1 cup slivered almonds, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
Mix thoroughly with a large spoon or spatula until well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Using a teaspoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into various-sized balls to resemble boogers. Make them uneven and slightly different in size for extra realism!
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Place the booger balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, prepare 1 (3-ounce) package lime-flavored gelatin according to package directions. Pour the prepared gelatin onto a separate sheet of waxed paper.
Roll each booger ball in the lime gelatin to coat it completely, creating a slimy outer layer.
Place the coated booger balls back onto the prepared baking sheet.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
