Frozen Orange Balls

Here in Arizona our summer begins in April. As the temps get warmer, I start to crave cool desserts. I went looking for something cool and sweet to make for the weekend. This was the perfect recipe. Another great bonus was that they contain orange juice. Anyone that has known me for awhile knows my love for orange juice. In fact, I rarely buy it because I can drink it all in about 2 minutes!
