Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

These seasonal treats have built-in portion control and can be enjoyed on a special occasion.

How to Make Ginger Snap Crumbs

Crushing NABISCO Ginger Snaps is a cinch with a rolling pin and a resealable plastic food storage bag. Or, process the ginger snaps in your food processor or blender.

How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls

To easily coat 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 firm.

I haven't tried this recipe yet but I'm sure it will be great. I thank Kraft for coming up with such great recipes.

These cookie balls are the first I've seen not made with Oreos. I enjoyed the combination made with gingerbread cookies. Creating "Rudolph" and his cousins was lots of fun. I made a "Sleigh" with cardboard around a 5" NEW flowerpot. I put a styrofoam ball wrapped in green floral foil in the flowerpot. I tried placing the cookie balls in a nice looking arrangement in the sleigh then added a host of "Melting Snowmen" cookie balls standing around as a vangurd of the North Pole.

I used nilla cookies instead of gingersnaps bc Im not a big fan. The semisweet chocolate could be replaced with something sweeter. They were fun to make and a good start to learning how to make cake ball pops. Mine definitely didn't look like the picture, but the kids loved them and they were tasty. Overall pretty good :)

my reindeer's had flat tops, were difficult to decorate and my son didn't like the way they tasted. I followed exact directions and won't waste my money making these again. :(
