Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

These cookie balls have built-in portion control so enjoy one when you want a sweet treat.

How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls

To easily coat cookie balls with the melted chocolate, add cookie balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll cookie balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove cookie balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place cookie balls in prepared pan; let stand until firm.

How to Store

Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
