Instructions
- 1
Put the chopped chocolate and butter in a medium, heat-proof bowl. Set aside.

Stir the chocolate and cream until smooth.

Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

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.

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.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
