Tips and Tricks

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.
Substitute: Prepare using melted semi-sweet baking chocolate or white baking chocolate instead of the melted candy wafers.
