Tips and Tricks

Size Wise:With their built-in portion control, these sweet treats can be enjoyed on a special occasion.
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 1 tsp. shortening to each 8 oz. of candy wafers.
Substitute:Prepare using 2 pkg. (4 oz. each) white baking chocolate.
Note:If coating becomes too thick, add up to 1 tsp. shortening to each 8 oz. of candy wafers.
Substitute:Decorate using 1 tube (3.0 oz.) black decorating icing for the hair.
