  1. I have searched for a recipe that is most like the orange balls I made as a kid, and this is it! My 6 and 9 year-olds helped and had a blast. This is one recipe I'd even let them make without supervision. TAKE NOTE that Nilla Wafers are now sold in 11 ounce boxes and not 12 ounces. To accommodate for less wafers, I reduced the orange juice concentrate to 1/3 cup plus 1 Tablespoon, then let the mix sit for 5 minutes before rolling. This worked great and the dough was not gooey or runny at all. If your dough turns out too runny or gooey to handle, try adding a Tablespoon or two of cornstarch - it will absorb some of the moisture without affecting the taste.
     
  2. These were easy to make and tasted great. These also taste good dipped in chocolate candy coating.

<p>Hello, <br />I am a southerner, born and raised here in the deep south. I have many interest and you could probably call me a jack of all trades, master of none! Currently I am a school bus driver, before that I was a Costumer and manager/ buyer for a Costume shop, before that I spent a few years as a graphic designer. For the past 15 years in my free time, I have studied Medieval history and hope to one day get a degree in it. <br />I have 4 wonderful kitty's who allow me to live with them If I bribe them with food. Hehe, other wise they mutiny! I love snow skiing, mountain climbing,and archeology digs,most of which are not conducive to the south, so Its a good thing I love to travel! <br />Of course I love to cook and horde recipes like they are gold, I am also a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism's (SCA), where I am a baroness, painter of manuscripts, and leader of the local group. Thus my name. <br />One of the things I like doing in the SCA is cooking period food for 300 or so of my friends, after researching recipes and redacting them to suit modern taste. I have always been interested in different cultures and food is a wonderful way to experience a taste of someone else's world. Thats when I found Recipe ZAAR, and I have been enjoying new friendships and some great food here! <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></p>
