Decorating Footballs

1. Make Sure your cookies have cooled to room temperature before decorating the footballs. You want to make sure the melted chocolate has harder on the chocolate-covered almonds.

2.  Place 1/4 cup of white candy melts into a bowl and microwave for 3-4 20 second increments, stirring the candy melt in between each go. Once the chocolate has melted, use a toothpick to make the football laces onto each chocolate-covered almond.   You can also use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.
