2. Shape into Balls:
   Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them in a single layer on wax paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching each other.

3. Let Dry:
   Allow the shaped balls to dry for several hours or preferably overnight. This step is essential for the balls to set properly and maintain their shape during dipping.

4. Prepare Chocolate Mixture:
   In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate chips and paraffin wax together. You can do this using a double boiler or by microwaving in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted.

5. Dip the Balls:
   Once the chocolate mixture is smooth and melted, carefully dip each dried ball into the chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. You can use a fork or dipping tools to assist in this process, tapping off any excess chocolate before placing them back onto the wax paper.

6. Chill:
   After dipping, place the chocolate-coated balls in the refrigerator to chill for a little while until the chocolate sets. This will ensure a firm and glossy finish to your Chocolate Whiskey Balls.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
   Once the chocolate coating has set, your Chocolate Whiskey Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a delightful dessert or gift them to friends and family for a special treat.
