Delicious no-bake treats for Valentine's Day or any occasion! You can adjust the sprinkles on top to any holiday or special event. Sometimes I sprinkle them with some extra speculoos cookie crumbs. They make a great gift, just pack them in a special box!
114.1 ounce jarcookie buttersuch as Biscoff - see note
1/2cupbutter
1/4teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonvanilla
1cupspeculoos/caramelized biscuit cookie crumbssuch as Biscoff - see note
2cupspowdered sugar
12ouncessemi-sweet chocolate
1tablespoonsolid shortening
Instructions
In large microwave safe bowl, combine cookie butter, butter and salt. Microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until the ingredients are softened but not completely melted.
Stir in vanilla, cookie crumbs, and sugar. Mix to form dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Scoop a 1 tablespoon portion of dough into your hand and give it a gentle squeeze. Roll into a ball and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all balls are formed. Chill the balls in the freezer for about 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for about an hour.
While the balls are chilling, place a heat proof bowl over a pot of simmering water. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water. Add your chocolate and shortening and stir until smooth.
I usually keep the bowl over the warm water while I'm dipping the balls so the chocolate stays melted longer.
Prepare another baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each ball, swirling to coat and remove with a spoon, fork or chocolate dipping tool. Place on prepared baking sheet. Decorate if desired and continue until all balls are coated.
Chill until chocolate is set & ENJOY!
Storage: Arrange in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze.
