Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together, thoroughly.
- Form into small balls the size of hickory nut (grandma's notes). I imagine a hickory nut is about a 1" size ball.
- Do Not refrigerate.
- Place in an air-tight container and keep at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges and coconut for the best flavor.
- Grate the orange zest finely to avoid any bitterness.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the balls tough.
- Chill the balls for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate, as this will help them hold their shape.
- If you don't have any orange extract, you can use vanilla extract instead.
- Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
