Cookie Pops (a.k.a Chocolate Bonbon Pops)

This recipe was found in a Better Homes and Gardens recipe magazine.

18 Chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
1/4 cup pecans toasted (I didn't use these in the recipe because they were to sent to a school with kids with nut allergies)
3 tbsp orange liqueur or orange juice (I used maraschino cherry juice)
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp corn syrup

sucker (lollipop) sticks
Coating:
1 cup milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet or white chocolate)
1 tsp shortening ( I used 1 tsp paraffin)

Put cookies in a food processor until they are fine crumbs, add nuts (optional), orange liqueur, cocoa powder and corn syrup. Mix everything together until well combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, shape cookie mixture into 1 inch balls. Place balls on prepared baking sheet
Dip on end of the lollipop stick in chocolate and then insert it into each ball and FREEZE for 30 minutes.

Melt shortening and chocolate in the microwave until melted (use 50% power so it won't scorch) or melt it in a saucepan on the stove over medium/low heat.

Dunk cookie pops in chocolate allow excess to drip off and then dip into some coloured sprinkles/nuts/candies etc. if desired. Place cookie pop stick into a block of Styrofoam or into a cardboard box. Store in the refrigerator.

This recipe makes approx. 12-15 1.5" cookie pops

On the corn syrup I dont have liquid corn syrup I only have powder corn syrup if it has to be liquid I might use that or use honey?

@ilovebrayden4ever You could use honey

Can you use regular chocolate for the coating? I live in the Netherlands and chocolate chips are'nt that easy to get.

[yoyomax12]

@WantedMirrors Any kind of chocolate will do for coating. Thrilled to have a viewer so far away!!! :) thanks for watching

i see you use paraffin often, does it change the taste of your chocolate?

ive tried shortening and veggie oil and i did not like the tastes:(

[yoyomax12]

@ChrisHasADroid3 Paraffin has no flavour, it does change the texture slightly. They do not taste "waxy" if you use just a small amount
