Recipe Tips

Size Wise
Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.
How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls
Keep the cookie balls refrigerated until ready to dip in the melted coating. Then, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted coating. Use 2 forks to roll balls in coating until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess coating drip back into bowl. Place balls in prepared pan; let stand until firm. If coating becomes too thick, add up to 2 tsp. shortening for each 16 oz. of candy wafers.
Substitute
Prepare using 4 pkg. (4 oz. each) white baking chocolate tinted with a few drops of green food coloring.
