Tips and Tricks

Substitution:Substitute Neufchatel cheese for the cream cheese.
Special Extra:Use sprinkles in the colors of your favorite sports team(s).
How to Easily Dip the Cookie Balls:For best results, keep the cookie balls refrigerated until ready to dip, in small batches, in the melted candy coating wafers. 
Variation:Omit the lollipop sticks. Coat the cookie balls with melted white candy coating, wafers then decorate with colored sugars, sprinkles and/or small candies as desired. Or, melt different colors of additional candy coating wafers and use to decorate the chilled white-dipped cookie balls.
