## Tips

- These cookie balls, with their own built-in portion control, can be enjoyed on occasion. Just remember to keep tabs on portions.
- To easily coat the candy cane cookie balls with the melted chocolate, 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 on prepared baking sheet; let stand until chocolate coating is firm.
- If any melted chocolate remains after all balls are coated, store in tightly covered container at room temperature until ready to use as desired.
- Microwave the chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2-1/2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted, stirring every 30 sec.
