Using two forks, roll or dip each ball in the chocolate mixture, one at a time. Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the saucepan before placing the truffles on the second lined baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles and chill for 20-30 minutes. Drizzle the truffles lightly with any remaining melted chocolate mixture.
