Tips and Tricks

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.
