Tips and Tricks
Size Wise:These seasonal sweet treats have built-in portion control to help you keep tabs on portions.
OREO Bat Cookie Balls:Omit lollipop sticks. Add cookie balls, in small batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll cookie balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place cookie balls on prepared pan; decorate as directed. Refrigerate until firm.
Substitute:If you don't have button candies, you can make the eyes with dots of melted white chocolate or white decorating icing. Let stand until firm, then add drop of black decorating gel to center of each.
