- Place the meltable chocolate in a bowl and microwave for a few seconds, stir, and repeat until it starts to melt. Add milk, vegetable oil, or water to achieve a consistency that is dippable and spreadable. Don’t add too much liquid or else the chocolate won’t harden!

- Over the chocolate bowl, place each cookie ball onto a fork and use a spoon to pour the melted chocolate over it. Tap against the side of the bowl to remove excess.
- Place the balls onto parchment lined dish.
- Add any other toppings like sprinkles, candies, etc.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chocolate hardens.
- Enjoy! Place in the microwave for 15-30 seconds for a warm cookie ball!
