Chocolate Bonbon Pops (No Bake!) image

I'm adding these to my gift baskets this year. I found the recipe in Better Homes and Gardens. They sound tasty and very easy, and they are quite cute for the kids, (and adults alike!) I like the fact they can be made a week ahead. The cooks at the magazine used Oreo brand sandwich cookies. I can get lollipop sticks at my little cake shop in town. I'll post pictures! (Cooking time is freezing and refrigeration time.)

Time 2h

Yield 20 pops, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

18 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted
2 tablespoons orange liqueur or 2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
20 lollipop sticks
1 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate or 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate pieces
1 tablespoon shortening

Steps:

  • In large food processor bowl combine cookies and 3/4 cup of the nuts; pulse until cookies are crushed. Add orange liqueur, corn syrup, and cocoa powder; process until combined. Add remaining nuts; pulse until coarsely chopped.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape cookie mixture in 1-inch balls. Place on baking sheet, insert a lollipop stick, and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan combine chocolate pieces and shortening. Cook and stir over medium-low heat just until melted. Remove from heat. Dip pops in chocolate. Return to baking sheet. Loosely cover and refrigerate 1 hour or until chocolate is set. If using liqueur, flavor will mellow after a day or two. Makes 20 pops.
  • To Store: Place in covered container; refrigerate up to 1 week.
