Place on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm and cold, about 10 minutes.

Using a toothpick, dip each ball into chocolate mixture, and return to baking sheet. Refrigerate until fudge is chilled and chocolate has set, about 30 minutes. Bring to room temperature before serving.
