Christmas Candy - Orange Balls

These are delicious, orange flavored morsels of goodness! And very easy to make.

Ingredients:

one box vanilla wafers
one stick butter
one 6 oz can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
powdered sugar
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans



Put the vanilla wafers in a large ziploc and start beating them into small pieces with your rolling pin or some other heavy wooden object. This is really fun!


Dump the wafers into a large bowl and add the butter, orange juice, pecans, and about 2-3 cups of powdered sugar. It should be moist but not so moist it is sticking to your fingers. It needs to be able to stick together in ball shapes, so if it's too moist add more powdered sugar.


Shape into balls the size of large marbles, and roll in more powdered sugar.


Voila! Orange balls!

  1. Is the butter hard, soft or melted? I hope that you say melted. That's always easiest for me.
