1 (9 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups pecan pieces

Steps:

In a food processor, combine the vanilla wafers, 2 cups of the confectioner's sugar, cocoa powder, orange juice concentrate, and corn syrup.
Process until the cookies are ground to crumbs and mixture is evenly blended.
Add the pecan pieces and pulse process until the nuts are finely chopped.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and form into 1" balls.
Roll balls in 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar** to coat.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

Tips:

Chill the mixture: Chilling the mixture before rolling it into balls helps it to set and makes it easier to work with.
Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop is a great way to get evenly sized balls of mixture.
Roll the balls in sprinkles or chopped nuts: This adds a festive touch and extra flavor to the balls.
Freeze the balls: Freezing the balls makes them easier to dip in chocolate and also helps them to keep their shape.
Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate: This is the best way to melt chocolate without burning it.
Dip the balls in chocolate: Use a fork to carefully dip the balls in chocolate, then place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the balls: Refrigerate the balls until the chocolate is set, then enjoy!
