Ingredients

1. 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
2. ⅓ cup clover honey
3. ½ teaspoon butter extract
4. 2 cups finely chopped sweetened flaked coconut*

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine condensed milk, honey, and butter extract over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and shiny and pulls away from pan when pan is tilted, 10 to 15 minutes. (If milk mixture begins to scorch, reduce heat.)
2. Pour mixture into a shallow pan or a pie plate. Refrigerate for approximately 1 hour.
3. Using a levered 2-teaspoon scoop, divide mixture into portions, and roll with greased hands to form balls. Roll balls in coconut until coated. Place candies in an airtight container, and refrigerate until needed.
4. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

1. *To finely chop coconut, pulse in a food processor.
