  5. While the truffles are in the freezer, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together using a double boiler or microwave.
  6. Remove the balls from the freezer, and dunk each into the melted chocolate using a fork or candy tool.
  7. Place the truffles into the fridge to set for at least 5 minutes before serving.
