Chocolate Bonbon Pops (No Bake!)

• 18 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
• 1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted
• 2 tablespoons orange liqueur or 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 20 lollipop sticks
• 1 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate or (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate pieces

1. In large food processor bowl combine cookies and 3/4 cup of the nuts; pulse until cookies are crushed. Add orange liqueur, 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 pieces and shortening. Cook and stir over medium-low heat just until melted. Remove from heat. Dip pops 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.
