INSTRUCTIONS
Thoroughly butter a plastic tray or cutting board and set aside. In a small
heavy saucepan, combine the condensed milk and butter and cook over very
low heat on a heatproof pad, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes,
until the mixture thickens. Use a rubber spatula to reach all the way into
the corners of the pan so that none of the mixture scorches, as it is very
delicate and easy to burn. If it seems to be getting too hot, remove it
from the heat for 30 seconds to cool slightly. When the mixture is quite
thick, remove from the heat and cool for about 25 minutes, then stir in the
coconut. Using a tiny icecream scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons capacity) or
2 teaspoons, scoop out little balls one by one and immediately drop them
into a bowl of confectioners sugar. Roll around gently to coat them evenly
and transfer to the buttered tray. Continue until you have used all the
mixture and then stud each kiss with 2 or 3 cloves. Store in a tightly
covered container. Yield: about 18 kisses Copyright, 1996, TV FOOD NETWORK,
