Preparation

  4. Roll the dough into walnut-sized pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Coating
  1. Melt the chocolate bark or chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave, stirring often to prevent burning.

Notes

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months. Use parchment paper to separate layers when freezing. Tips include ensuring butter is softened for easier mixing and using good quality chocolate for coating.
