Tips and Tricks

Size Wise:Balance out your food choices so you can enjoy a serving of these decorative cookie balls.
How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls:Keep the cookie balls refrigerated until ready to dip in the melted coating. Then, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted coating. Use 2 forks to roll balls in coating until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess coating drip back into bowl. Place balls in prepared pan; let stand until firm. If coating becomes too thick, add up to 2 tsp. shortening to each 16 oz. of candy wafers.
Substitute:Prepare using 4 pkg. (4 oz. each) white baking chocolate.
Note:If coating becomes too thick, add up to 2 tsp. shortening to each 16 oz. of candy wafers.
Substitute:Prepare using 2 tubes (0.67 oz.) each black decorating gel.
