Shape the Balls:
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all the balls are shaped, refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and melted coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate and coconut oil.
Coat the Balls:
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt on the chocolate-coated balls before they set.
