In a separate small container, mix together the orange syrup, vanilla, flavor concentrate and color paste. Add to dry ingredients. Mix well. Add the cocoa butter and mix. Chill this mixture for 30 minutes or until it will hold a shape. Measure out a walnut-sized amount with a teaspoon and roll in the palms of your hands until smooth and round. Place each ball in a paper bon-bon cup. These keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator but do not place in the paper cups until ready to serve.
