Mix the ingredients until well combined and a sticky dough forms.

Once all the mixture is shaped into balls, prepare the coating by melting the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Optional: For extra decoration or a different texture, roll the coated balls in chocolate shots or additional icing sugar.
