Chocolate Bonbon Pops No Bake Recipes

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE COOKIE POPS

Steps:

• Place the cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse them until roughly chopped. Add the cream cheese and continue pulsing until the mixture is well combined and there are no large pieces of cookie remaining.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, squeeze and roll the cookie mixture into 1-inch balls. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball, place them on the baking sheet and freeze them for 30 minutes.
• Melt the chocolate and vegetable oil in the microwave on 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted. Dip the cookie balls in the melted chocolate then immediately garnish them with sprinkles, crushed nuts or toasted coconut flakes. Return the pops to the baking sheet. Loosely cover and refrigerate them for 1 hour or until the chocolate is set.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE BOURBON BALLS

Steps:

• Bring about 1 inch of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Put the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over the saucepan, making sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Let the chocolate sit until melted and smooth, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, put the cookies in a food processor and process until finely ground (you should have about 1 1/2 cups crumbs). Pour the cookie crumbs into the chocolate. Add the figs, confectioners' sugar, bourbon, condensed milk and vanilla and stir until well blended.
• Cover and refrigerate the mixture until firm enough to roll into balls, about 45 minutes. Spread the granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and shape into a smooth ball and then roll in the granulated sugar. Serve at room temperature.
• Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
