Choose the Right Cookies: Graham crackers or sturdy cookies work best since they hold up well after being coated in chocolate.

Use High-Quality Chocolate: A good-quality chocolate will result in a richer, smoother coating.
-
Experiment with Flavors: Try using almond butter instead of peanut butter or different flavors of jam for variety.
-
