3. Pour the mixture into a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
4. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to shape the mixture into balls.
5. Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
