Orange Cordial Fudge Balls image

A nice gift for special occasions. I'm guessing at the number of fudge balls it yields; the truth is I'm probably somewhat inconsistent in the exact size I make the fudge balls because sometimes the recipe yields more than at other times. I've never melted the chocolate in the microwave instead of a double boiler but I suppose it's possible.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
1/4 cup orange liqueur (CuraƧao, Grand Marnier, Cointreau or Triple Sec)
1 (6 ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans or 1 1/2 cups walnuts

Steps:

  • Mix the crumbs with the liqueur and set aside.
  • Melt the chocolate with the butter in the top of a double boiler.
  • Stir chocolate mixture and corn syrup into crumb mixture to blend.
  • Add the sugar and 1/2 cup of the chopped nuts and stir; the dough will be stiff.
  • Shape the dough by spoonfuls into balls and roll in the remaining 1 cup of chopped nuts.
  • Store in the freezer until shortly before giving or using.
