Coconut-Rum Balls

1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafers, crushed
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (3 1/2 ounce) can flaked coconut
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup rum

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.
