Ingredients: 

  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 1 package (12 ounces) Food Club® Real Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ½ teaspoon Food Club® Pure Vanilla Extract

2.    Using small ice cream scoop or 1-tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop chocolate mixture onto 1 prepared pan; roll each scoop into a ball, then roll in graham cracker crumbs to coat. Insert 1 lollipop stick about ¾ of the way into center of each ball and place on second prepared pan; refrigerate 45 minutes or until firm.

Chef Tips
You can use an upside-down cardboard egg carton punched with holes to hold the truffle pops upright.

If you have a kitchen torch, you can stick 4 mini marshmallows onto the marshmallow cream and toast them with the torch.
