2 Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Place on top of the wax paper and allow time for the chocolate to solidify and set up before storing.
Notes: One sleeve Ritz = makes about 27 Cookies, - also when using an extract always use PURE as the imitations tend to leave an after-taste. - Use a [new] Tweezer or Plastic Fork with middle 2 tines removed for easier dipping, - ** and if your doing alot of these a small crockpot on warm does wonders to keep the chocolate warm and manageable while dipping.
