## Tips

- Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.
- To easily coat 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 in prepared pan; let stand until chocolate coating is firm.
- Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
