Time 1h30m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened

1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop is a great way to get evenly sized balls of mixture.
  • Roll the balls in sprinkles or chopped nuts: This adds a festive touch and extra flavor to the balls.
  • Freeze the balls: Freezing the balls makes them easier to dip in chocolate and also helps them to keep their shape.
  • Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate: This is the best way to melt chocolate without burning it.
  • Dip the balls in chocolate: Use a fork to carefully dip the balls in chocolate, then place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Refrigerate the balls: Refrigerate the balls until the chocolate is set, then enjoy!
