Sinfully Simple Truffles - chocolate frosting

• Shape mixture into walnut size balls and place on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
• Place in refridgerator to chill (10 minutes).
• Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in microwave on low in 30 second intervals, stir often (should only take 1-2 minutes).

• Remove chocolate balls from fridge and dip into melted chocolate (sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired).
