1ozcontainer aprox 8of Mascarpone cheese at room temperature
1teaspoonvanilla extract
3tablespoonsof Bailey's Toffee Almond Cream coffee creameror to taste
1cupSavoiardi cookies finely crushedhard lady fingers
1cupplus 1 tablespoon nilla wafers finely crushed
For the dip
1Hershey Dark Special Bar
1Bag of semi sweet chocolate chips 10 oz
Tablespoon of shortening or vegetable oil
Optional: sprinkles; white chocolate for meltingor crumble extra cookies (for topping)
Instructions
Cream the first 4 ingredients together. Add the coffee creamer last to flavor to taste. Then after crushing the cookies add to the mixture and thoroughly combine. Cover with saran and refrigerate for at least one hour. Prepare a lined baking sheet/tray. Melt dark chocolate and chips in a double boiler - add a tablespoon of vegetable oil/shortening to thin out the mixture. Roll dough into balls - about half the size of a teaspoon. Drop the balls into the mixture and with spoon coat the balls
Remove with a fork - tapping to remove excess chocolate. Transfer to baking sheet
Either sprinkle with more crumbled cookies or non-perils. Refrigerate/freeze until hard.
I strongly recommend freezing these overnight before serving and to serve very cold.
Optional
melt white chocolate and place in a squeeze bottle or using a spoon - drizzle over the tops of the hardened cookie
Notes
Note: After dipping in the chocolate I drizzled with a chocolate caramel sauce and crushed lady fingers and toasted almonds.
