EASY NO-BAKE ORANGE BALLS CANDY



Easy No-Bake Orange Balls Candy image

No-bake orange balls are similar to bourbon balls with vanilla wafer crumbs. The orange juice concentrate gives them a burst of orange flavor.

Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Dessert

Time 8h10m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces vanilla wafer cookies (finely crushed)
1 cup confectioners' sugar (plus more for coating)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate (thawed)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecans (chopped)
1/2 sifted confectioners' sugar (or shredded coconut for coating)

Steps:

  • Combine the vanilla wafer cookie crumbs and 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the butter to the crumb mixture and blend in well.
  • Stir in the thawed orange juice concentrate; add vanilla and nuts. Mix with your hands until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • With your hands, shape the mixture into balls about the size of walnuts. Place the prepared balls in a food storage bag with the sifted confectioners' sugar or shredded coconut. Shake the balls around so that the sugar (or coconut) sticks to the balls. You may want to do just a few at a time to prevent overcrowding which could impact the shape of the balls.

If you like making easy or no-bake desserts, try chocolate bourbon truffles or big batch no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies .

CRISPY ORANGE COCONUT BALLS



Crispy Orange Coconut Balls image

In the world of Sandra Lee, a cookbook author and self-proclaimed "lifestylist," life is hectic and people are busy, so she cooks semi-homemade food. "The Semi-Homemade cooking approach is easily done by combining several prepackaged foods, a few fresh ingredients, and a 'pinch of this with a hint of that' to make new, easy, gourmet-tasting, inexpensive meals in minutes," she said. The Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style chocolate icings that Ms. Lee calls for in her Crispy Orange Coconut Balls (truffles, really) do not allow you to have control over the quality of the chocolate - the main flavor of the dessert. If you would like more control of that flavor, try this riff, developed by Amanda Hesser.

Tips:

  • Use a large bowl: This will give you plenty of room to mix the ingredients and avoid a mess.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:
