Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, mix together the wafer crumbs, melted butter, powdered sugar, orange juice concentrate, and chopped nuts. Stir until the mixture is well-combined. If it is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm enough to shape.
- 2. Using a teaspoon, roll the candy into small balls between your palms and place them on a baking sheet covered with foil.
- 3. In a small bowl, blend together the 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 1/2 Tbsp orange juice with a handheld electric mixer. It should be fluid but not too runny; adjust the amount of sugar or juice as necessary to get a good dipping consistency.
- 4. Dip a ball in the sugar-juice mixture until it is well-coated, then roll it in the shredded coconut. Replace the ball on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining cookie/candy.
- 5. Refrigerate the balls to set them, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- 6. NOTE: To crush the wafers, you can either use a blender or food processor, or place them in a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Be sure that the cookies are in small crumbs, not large chunks.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the oranges into wedges. This will help to prevent the wedges from falling apart when you are coating them in sugar.
- Make sure the sugar is evenly distributed over the orange wedges. This will help to ensure that they are evenly coated and crystallized.
- Be careful not to overcook the orange wedges. They should be cooked until they are just slightly translucent, but not browned.
- If you are using a candy thermometer, the orange wedges should be cooked to a temperature of 235 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Allow the orange wedges to cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.

Orange snowballs are a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them tart or sweet, orange snowballs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
