2.75 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (about 1 large box)
1/4 cup melted butter
3 cups powdered sugar, divided
1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
2 tbsp light corn syrup
zest of one orange
1 cup finely chopped nuts
1.5 tbsp orange juice
1.5 cups finely shredded sweetened coconut
Preparation:
In a large bowl, mix together the wafer crumbs, melted butter, 2 cups of
the powdered sugar, orange zest,
corn syrup, orange juice concentrate, and chopped nuts.
Stir until the mixture is well-combined.
If it is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate for 30 minutes or
until firm enough to shape.
Using a teaspoon, roll the candy into small balls between your palms and
place them on a baking sheet covered with foil.
In a small bowl, blend together the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar
and the orange juice with a handheld electric mixer.
It should be fluid but not too runny, adjust the amount of sugar or
juice as necessary to get a good dipping consistency.
Dip a ball in the sugar-juice mixture until it is well-coated, then roll
it in the shredded coconut.
Replace the ball on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining candy.
Refrigerate the balls to set them, then store them in an airtight
container in the refrigerator.
