- Mix and Cool

Simple Tricks For The Best Bites
You gotta let your cream cheese get soft before starting. If your bites are cold, let 'em sit out a bit before dipping so they don't break. A fork makes coating super easy. Feeling a little extra? Throw on some sprinkles or smashed-up treats before the shell sets.
How To Store Them
Keep your treats in a sealed container in the fridge and they're good for about five days. Planning ahead? Just freeze the balls before coating for up to two months. Let them thaw in the fridge before dipping. Eat them cold or let them come to room temp first. Either way, they're delicious.
