Chocolate Bonbon Pops

I found this recipe in my BHG magazine and want to try it. I am posting it here so I don't have to hold on to this torn out page. If you try it let me know how it goes!

"We used Oreos to get the intense chocolate flavor of these no- bake bonbons. Find lollipop sticks in the bakin section of large supermarket and baking supply stores."

Prep time: 30 mins Freeze: 30 minutes Chill: 1 Hour
18 chocolate sandwich cookies with cream filling.
1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted ( I might leave these out)
2 TBSP Orange liqueur or orange juice
1 TBSP corn syrup
2 TBSP unsweetened Cocoa powder
20 Lollipop sticks
1 - 12 oz pkg milk or semisweet chocolate chips
1 TBSP shortening

1. in a large food processor bowl combine cookies and 3/4 cup of 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 cookie mixture in 1 inch balls. Place on baking sheet, insert a lollipop stick,and freeze for 30 minutes

3. In a small saucepan combine chocolate chips and shortening. Cook and stir over medium- low heat. Dip pop 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!
