Delicious! Perfect for a cool summer treat! Beware these are not for those who do not like strong orange flavor. The reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is because the ingredient amounts are off. I used 2 cups powdered sugar and a little extra crushed cookies (I used animal crackers =vegan)

I crushed a 12 oz bag of vanilla wafers and it was the right amount. These had too much bite for us. The oj is very tart.

These were amazing and so easy to make. This recipe is so easy to make. I took them to a morning get together and they were one of the first items to disappear! I will definitely keep this recipe!

I grew up making these with my Mom and my brother. We love them and I now make them with my own children. They are super easy and super fun to make with kids!

These are a wonderful change from rum balls. My family doesn't like coconut, so I substituted toasted pecans that had been chopped fine in the food processor. Also, I doubled the recipe which made perfect use of the whole box of vanilla wafers. I agree that the dough was a bit sticky, but I used powdered sugar to "flour" my hands for the rolling and that helped a lot. The "1/2 (6 ounce) can of OJ" ingredient is confusing- I think it means for a standard recipe use 3 oz. of OJ; a double recipe would be 6 oz. These started out tasting like a strong creamsicle and have mellowed over the days.

My mother-in-law and I make these every year around Christmas time. The family can't get enough of their orangey goodness! Definitely serve chilled though. The people saying the dough is too juicy to form - put the dough in the refrigerator for an hour before you attempt to form into balls, it makes it a lot easier.

These were really yummy! My complaint, as it seems was the same for others, is that it was to juicy and sticky. Impossible to work with. After I added almost an additional cup of powdered sugar I decided to double the rest of the ingredients except the OJ. I think the original OJ amount of 6 oz is incorrect. I think for a single batch it would of come out right with 3 oz of OJ concentrate.

Love this recipe. A friend gave it to me years ago and it's great for parties or get-togethers. Plus you can freeze some to have on hand for a treat.

I love these. I add a small dash of cinomen into my mix. It adds a little extra flavor. I also figured out if your mix is to sticky to role pore more powdred sugar into the mix. This removes the sticky.

I really love these and yes, they do improve in flavor over time-if you can wait that long! I think the problem with recipe is the wording regarding the measurment of the cookie crumbs--it says 1 1/8 cup of cookies, crushed. It should say 1 1/8 cups of cookie crumbs--it takes 2 cups of cookies to make the 1 1/8 cup of crumbs. If you measure the cookies instead of the crumbs you will only end up with about 3/4 of a cup of crumbs. Then yes, your mixture would be way too juicy.
