  7. 7
    After you have formed the balls, you will need to chill again for approximately 1 hour.

    After they have chilled for one hour, melt your bittersweet or semisweet coating chocolate and stir until completely melted.

    Dip each of the refrigerated balls (these will be the centers of your truffle) into the melted coating chocolate and coat completely, afterwhich you will want to place on a tray covered with waxed paper.
