07 - Immediately sprinkle holiday sprinkles or edible glitter onto the dipped balls before the coating sets.
08 - Gently press a mini pretzel stick or a small piece of licorice into each ball to create an ornament hook.
09 - Refrigerate the decorated balls for about 10 minutes until the coating fully sets. Serve or package as desired.
