    To coat each ball with candy, pierce ball with wooden skewer or toothpick; dip into melted candy, leaving small area around skewer uncoated. Place dipped ball on cookie sheet, pushing candy off skewer with tines of fork. (If desired, smooth skewer mark with finger.) If melted candy sets up while dipping, rewarm in microwave on LOW power. Let stand 5 minutes or until set.
