Recipe Tips

How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls
Keep the cookie balls refrigerated until ready to dip in the melted chocolate. Then, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place balls in prepared pan; decorate and let stand until firm. If chocolate becomes too thick, add up to 2 tsp. shortening to each 16 oz. of chocolate.
Size Wise
Balance out your food choices throughout the day so you can enjoy one of these portion-controlled festive treats.
Special Extra
Melted white chocolate can be tinted as desired with a few drops of food coloring. Or, prepare using 16 oz. white or colored vanilla candy wafers. For a change of pace, prepare using semi-sweet baking chocolate.
