Do you enjoy eating chocolate covered cookies? Everyone, including kids, can hardly get enough of these delicious cookies. Unfortunately, buying them too often for your entire family and your kids’ friends can be expensive. So why not make them at home? It’s easy and inexpensive! Coating cookies is a fun project to do with kids when it’s a rainy day outside.

The next time you go shopping (a bulk food store is a great place), you will need the following supplies:

• one pound of milk chocolate melts, half pink or any other colored chocolates,
• tin foil,
• a pound of plain biscuits or cookies (e.g. arrowroot biscuits)

You will also need a double boiler or microwave, at least 2 cookie sheets, cooling racks, small tongs, a fork and a spoon.

Easy Steps:

1. Line cookie sheets with foil.

2. Place water in the bottom pan of the double boiler. When the water in the bottom pot begins to boil, pour in your melting chocolate disks into the top pan.

3. Milk chocolate melts melt very quickly and will turn shiny and creamy, so watch carefully.

4. Then, pick up each cookie, one at a time, and dip it in this cream. With a spoon, turn the biscuits until both sides appear well coated. With your fork, remove each cookie from the melted cream. To get rid of the extra chocolate, try tapping the handle of your fork against the pan’s brim.

5. Then, gently lay uniformly coated cookies on cooling racks over the cookie sheets so that that they can dry and cool. Repeat the same step for all the available cookies.The chocolate that drips to the foil can be put back into the double boiler and remelted.

6. The final step involves melting half a pound of a different colored chocolate. Put it in a microwave safe dish and gradually heat, stirring  the disks every 30 seconds. When the chocolate disks finally change into a creamy fluid, place the dish near your cooling biscuits. Dip a fork or a spoon into the melted pink or white cream. Then, sprinkle drops or narrow ribbons of the second color on the chocolate covered cookies.

7. Let cookies dry.

8. Arrange on a special cookie plate to serve to your helpers.
