Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Put the chopped chocolate and butter in a medium, heat-proof bowl. Set aside.

2. 2

   Heat the heavy cream in the microwave (or in a pan on the stovetop) just until it comes to a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate in the bowl and let it sit for 3-5 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir the chocolate and cream until smooth.

4. 4

   Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

6. 6

   Melt the chocolate melting wafers in the microwave, at 50% power, for 30 seconds. Stir and then continue melting and stirring in 15-second intervals until smooth.

7. 7

   Dip the chocolate balls in the melted chocolate and place them on parchment paper. Immediately top with sprinkles, if desired, before the chocolate coating hardens.

8. 8

   Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
