Recipe: Soft & Chewy Chocolate Bites





PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour; mix well. Refrigerate 1 hour, or until dough is easy to handle.

SHAPE dough into 1-inch balls; place, 2 inches apart, on greased baking sheets.
BAKE 8 min. or just until set. (Do not overbake.) Let stand on baking sheet 1 min.; transfer to wire racks. Cool completely.


Tip For best results, use butter. If using margarine, add an additional 1/2 cup flour.



Chocolate Glazed

Microwave 1 tub (8 oz.) thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping and 6 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate on HIGH 1 min.; stir. Microwave an additional 30 sec. or until chocolate is melted and mixture is shiny and smooth. Let stand 15 min. to thicken. Spread or drizzle over cooled cookies. Let stand 40 min. or until glaze is set.

Nut Topped

Press 1 PLANTERS Pecan or Walnut Half onto each warm cookie as soon as they it comes out of oven (while still on baking sheet).

Caramel Topped

Press a halved KRAFT Caramel into each warm cookie.

Peppermint Topped

Press coarsely chopped candy canes or peppermint candies into warm cookies.


Make Ahead
Place balls of uncooked dough on wax paper-covered baking sheet; freeze until firm. Transfer to freezer-weight resealable plastic bag; freeze up to 3 months. Bake frozen dough 10 min. or just until set. (No need to thaw first.)
