Description
Snickers Cheesecake Pops are an impressive, easy to make a treat with only need 3 ingredients: pre-made cheesecake, Snickers Minis, and chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 lb New York Style Cheesecake
- 40 SNICKERS® Brand NFL Minis (refrigerated)
- 14 ounces chocolate chips (I used bittersweet, can use other varieties)
- 4 ” lollipop sticks (approx 30)
- Wax paper
Instructions
- Place entire cheesecake in a large bowl and mash with a fork, paying close attention to breaking up the pieces of the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 1-2 hours.
- Unwrap SNICKERS® Brand NFL Minis and cut each one into fourths. Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from freezer and chop finely (carefully by hand or in food processor with metal blade attached). Placed chopped SNICKERS® back in freezer until ready to use.
- Cover a plate or baking sheet with wax paper and scoop small balls of cheesecake (approximately 1.5″ diameter). Roll the balls with your hands so you have a smooth, round ball of cheesecake. If cheesecake gets too warm and hard to handle, place back in refrigerator for a bit. After you have made all your cheesecake balls, place your plate or tray in the refrigerator.
- Melt chocolate according to package directions. Dip one end of a lollipop stick into the chocolate, allow excess to fall off and insert the chocolate dipped end of the stick into the middle of one of the cheesecake balls. Repeat with all of the balls and set back in the refrigerator until chocolate is firm.
- Remove chopped SNICKERS® from the freezer and place on a plate or shallow bowl. Remove cheesecake pops from refrigerator. One by one, dip a cheesecake pop into the melted chocolate (if your chocolate firmed since dipping the sticks, you may need to reheat it). Allow excess chocolate to fall off (I use a spoon to help spoon chocolate over cheesecake pop). Immediately roll/dip/sprinkle cheesecake pop with chopped SNICKERS®. Place back on wax covered baking sheet or dish. After all cheesecake pops have been dipped in chocolate and rolled in SNICKERS®, place baking sheet or dish back into refrigerator until chocolate is firm.
Notes
Chopping Snickers: I recommend placing them in the freezer prior to chopping because you don’t want the pieces to be mushy. If you leave the pieces in the freezer too long and/or your pieces are too frozen, leave out for a bit so they can soften just slightly — you want them very cold, but not frozen solid. Also, use your judgement on if your food processor can handle chopping the Snickers. My Cusinart does a great job, but not all food processors can probably handle it. If yours can’t, you might want to chop by hand.
