Hi Charles. It was better for me, because I'm not the one who had chocolate to her elbows, he did! I honestly don't think there's a mess free way to do them, but they sure taste good when they're finished. Smile. He Dropped the peanut butter ball into the chocolate (gently of course) then rolled it around with a spoon. Then, when it was completely coated in chocolate, he scooped it up with the same spoon and placed it on wax paper.
