Instructions

Prepare the Truffle Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the orange juice concentrate, orange zest (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Gradually add the crushed vanilla wafers, mixing until a soft, dough-like consistency forms.
Shape the Truffles: Use a tablespoon or small scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into smooth balls with your hands. Place the truffle balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes to firm them up before coating.
Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Decorate (Optional): While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle the truffles with colorful sprinkles or a pinch of orange zest for extra flair.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the truffles for 15–20 minutes to set the chocolate coating completely. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Softened Butter: Ensure the butter is softened for a smooth and easy mixture.
Crushed Wafers: Make sure the vanilla wafers are finely crushed to ensure a cohesive dough.
Double-Coat for Extra Crunch: For a thicker coating, dip the truffles twice in white chocolate.
Customize: Add a sprinkle of lemon zest or drizzle dark chocolate for a different twist.
