A really fun way to eat your bon bons! The name bonbon stems from the French word bon, literally meaning “good”. Adapted from BH&G magazine. Ingredients:
18 chocolate sandwich style cookies, with cream filling (oreo's are good) |
1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted (or walnuts or nuts of choice) |
2 tablespoons orange juice (or orange liqueur) |
1 tablespoon light corn syrup (clear color) |
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
20 lollipop sticks |
1 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate chips or 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening |
Directions:
1. In a large food processor bowl combine cookies and 3/4 cup of the nuts; pulse until cookies are crushed. Add orange juice, corn syrup, and cocoa powder; process until combined. Add remaining nuts; pulse until coarsely chopped.
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the cookie mixture into 1 balls. Place on a baking sheet, insert a lollipop stick, and freeze for about 30 minutes.
3. In a small saucepan combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Cook and stir over medium-low heat just until melted. Remove from heat. Dip pops in melted chocolate. Return to baking sheet.
4. Loosely cover and refrigerate 1 hour or until chocolate coating is set. If using liqueur, flavor will mellow after a day or two. Enjoy!
5. Makes 20 pops.
6. To Store: Place in covered container; refrigerate up to 1 week.
