How to Make Irish Cream Bonbons

  1. Crush 16 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
  2. Add 1 ½ cups powdered sugar to the food processor with the Oreo crumbs and process until well combined.
  3. Add ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the food processor. With the food processor running, gradually add ½ cup Irish cream liqueur, processing until a stiff dough forms. You may need to add a tablespoon or two more of Irish cream to achieve a cookie dough consistency.
  4. Remove the dough from the food processor and transfer it to a glass dish.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. Using a large melon baller (or a teaspoon), shape the chilled dough into small, uniform balls.
  7. Melt 12 ounces of almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  8. Dip each bonbon into the melted almond bark, using a candy dipping utensil (optional) for easier handling. Place the coated bonbons on waxed paper to set.
  9. Once the almond bark coating is set, melt 6 ounces of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a zip-top bag. Snip a small corner off the bag to create a piping tip.
  11. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the set bonbons to create decorative stripes.
  12. Refrigerate the bonbons until the white chocolate is set. For best flavor, let them sit for 3 days before serving.
  13. Store refrigerated.
