Ingredients:
- 36 vanilla sandwich cookies (I used Walmart brand)
- 1 8 oz. package cream cheese (you could also use strawberry cream cheese)
- pink gel good coloring
- strawberry extract
- candy melts (can be found in the cake decorating isle at Walmart)
Directions:
- Crush vanilla sandwich cookies to very fine.
- Add cream cheese
- Add 1 tsp. strawberry extract.
- Add 3-4 drops of (pink) gel food coloring.
- Mix until you have a pink mass.
- Keep pulsing until everything is incorporated
- Use 1" scoop to make round bonbons.
- Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
- Place candy melts in microwave and heat for 30 seconds. Then pinch the bowl a little to kind of mix the candy melts. Repeat for another 30 seconds and stir or squeeze again. From this point heat in microwave in 30 second intervals at 50% power until everything is melted and is almost the consistency of Hershey syrup. Now it's time to dip.
- Take 5 or 6 bonbons out of the refrigerator and dip and place on waxed paper or parchment paper until set.
- If you notice small holes on the bottom of the bonbons, place a small amount of candy melts for the whole and place back on parchment paper until set.
- I used vanilla and pink candy melts to decorate. You will only need about 25 melts for each color. Follow the same instructions for the candy melts above.
- Place candy melts in a plastic zipper bag and cut a very tiny hole in the corner and drip over bonbons. Repeat with second color.
