Golden snitch pop
Chef Miera Asrani, head chef, Chef’s Table Culinary Studio

Ingredients 
>> 2 pieces chocolate truffle pastry >> 4 tbsp bread crumbs >> 200 gms white chocolate >> 1 cup golden sprinklers

Method
Mash the pastries with a fork and add the breadcrumbs to it, mix well. This will give the crunchiness and balance sweetness to the snitch balls. Make medium-sized balls and refrigerate them for 20 minutes. Melt the chocolate on a double boiler, being careful not to burn it till it reaches a smooth consistency. Dip the refrigerated balls into the melted chocolate and immediately coat them with golden sprinklers.
