Recipe Tips

Size Wise
Balance out your food choices throughout the day so you can enjoy a serving of these portion-controlled sweet treats.
Note
For a softer, more cake-like texture, store sandwiches in single layer in airtight container overnight before serving. Sandwiches can be stored up to 5 days in refrigerator, and will continue to soften with each day of storage.
Substitute
Melt 2 oz. semi-sweet or white baking chocolate as directed on package. Use instead of the melted green and red candy coating wafers.
