Yes. They are delectable and extremely rich and horrible for you. Also very easy.
Ingredients:
Cookies:
1 box of strawberry cake mix
Some white chocolate chips. I don't know, like, around 1/3-1/2 a bag.
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
Ganache, for dipping:
1 cup chopped dark chocolate (any chocolate, really, I prefer dark)
1 cup heavy cream
1. Dump the cake mix, chocolate chips, oil, and eggs in a bowl and stir.
2. Spoon them onto a cookie sheet (I use an ice cream scoop) and bake them at 350º for 12-15 minutes or until just the slightest bit brown. Let them cool ALL THE WAY.
3. Make the ganache (heat the cream in a double boiler or a microwave, but not quite to the point of boiling and add the chopped chocolate and stir). Also let this cool quite a bit. If it is too hot, or the cookies are too hot, the cookies will just crumble into the ganache.
4. Once the cookies and ganache are at acceptable temperature (the cookies should be room temperature, the ganache should be just warm), dip half the cookie into the ganache and return to a rack (if you want to dip the whole cookie, you can use a potato masher to fish it out of the ganache however they will likely break, just saying. The cupcakes that follow are better for complete dipping.) I sprinkled them with pearl sprinkles but those were just for looks.
NOW, a cupcake variant.
1. Make the strawberry cupcakes as the box directs. You can add white chocolate chips, but they don't work quite as well in cupcakes as they do in cookies. They just sink to the bottom.
2. If you used wrappers, unwrap them. If not, I trust you sprayed the pan, etc.
3. Wait for the cupcakes to cool, and dip them in the ganache using a potato masher. It is the perfect size to scoop the cupcake out of the ganache with minimal contact and can gently push it down so that it is fully covered. Messy, but delicious.
(I promise I unwrapped those, you can just see the little indentations through the shiny ganache.)
