4. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
5. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth
6. Roll the balls in chocolate to coat completely; use two toothpicks or forks to remove the balls from chocolate, allowing the extra chocolate to drip off.
7. Place on wax paper-lined baking sheet.
8. Refrigerate another 30 minutes until the chocolate forms a hard shell.
