  3. Roll the Mixture: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Freeze: Freeze the rolled truffles for about 30 minutes, until firm.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the chocolate chips with vegetable oil until smooth, stirring every 20 seconds.
  6. Dip the Truffles: Dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
  7. Chill Again: Return the dipped truffles to the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is fully set.
