- 4 method #1 --.
- 5 place the balls on a big cookie sheet covered with wax paper. stick a toothpick into each one. set in freezer to firm up. after they are thoroughly chilled and working with 10 or so out of the freezer at a time, take a toothpick and dip into the chilled balls halfway into melted chocolate or --.
- 6 method #2 --.
- 7 don't put toothpicks in, chill the balls in the freezer and let them harden up. with a small spoon, dip some melted chocolate bark over each ball trying to cover the end and maybe half way down. let them harden up and then --.
- 8 either method you choose, store in an air tight container in the freezer. trust me -- they are best this way.
