Recipe Tips

Size Wise
Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.
Tip
If candy coating becomes too thick, add up to 2 tsp. shortening to each 16 oz. of candy wafers.
How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls
Keep the cookie balls refrigerated until ready to dip in the melted candy coating. Then, dip in small batches for best results.
