Chocolate balls...

Every Christmas my Grandma and Grandpa make these wonder rich amazing chocolate balls. Now the way my grandma makes it verses how we made it work is completely different. Ill give you her version then how we did it.



Ingredients:
A Large tub of whip topping
3 LARGE chocolate bars
cookie coating (we used cinnamon graham crackers and it was really good)
Nuts (if you want. I am not a nut person)

Make sure you leave the cool whip out on the counter for 15 min prior to making the dessert.
Melt all the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave, you dont want it too hot or to chunky. After chocolate is melted pour the cool whip in and nuts if desired and mix. (this is where we ran into problems. Ill get to those in a sec)
Roll into balls (we just used our cookie scoop) and roll into the cookie crumbs and place on plate.
Refrigerate

Okay the problems we ran into. When we mixed the whip topping in with the chocolate it hardened to quickly and it wasnt becoming smooth. I was mixing it with a spatula. So we poured the mixture into the kitchen aid and whipped it that way. However the chocolate had still solidified to fast. So we put the whole kitchen aid bowel into the oven and melted it that way (at 450 F for 3 minutes). It was much more smooth. We did have to freeze it for a while so we could make balls, but the chocolate wasnt solid anymore. If you have questions let me know!
