Tips and Tricks

Size-Wise:These truffles have built-in portion control. Enjoy on a special occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.
How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls: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.
