How to Make Orange Cordial Fudge Balls

In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs with ¼ cup of orange liqueur. Gently mix until evenly moistened and set aside.
Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a double boiler (or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth).
Stir in 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup into the melted chocolate mixture. Then, gently fold the chocolate mixture into the crumb mixture until thoroughly combined.
Add ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts. Stir until well incorporated. The dough will be stiff.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Roll the fudge balls in 1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to coat completely.
Place the fudge balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 2 weeks.
