5.
Take chocolate mix out of the freezer and roll into small balls/ovals/eggs (you need to work quick here as the mixture will soften quickly. We recommend using kitchen gloves for this step). Place each ball onto a lined baking tray and place the finished balls into the freezer for 10-15 mins before dipping in chocolate.
