Notes

GINGERBREAD RUMBALLS:
For the gingerbread rumballs I substituted: The oreo crumbs with 2 1/2 c of thin ginger wafers ground small in a food processor and the chocolate chips with butterscotch chips.
NOTE: I found that they made for a nicer texture than the superfine oreo crumbs. It set quicker and didn’t melt as fast in the hands when rolling.
