They should be ready and set so you get the task done efficiently.

You need to melt the chocolate first. You will use the double boiler for this purpose. Add water to the double boiler and have it placed on a stove at medium heat. Wait until the water has reached a simmer. Place the pan with melted choco on top and stir using the whisk until it starts melting. You will then need to slowly add the cream to the mixture.

Once the ganache has been mixed, you are going to need to let it cool down. Remove the pan from the double boiler and have it positioned on top of the counter for a few minutes to cool the mixture done. Once cooled, get ready to add the butter to the mixture. Get the ganache placed back on top of the double boiler with the simmering water. Mix until the butter is melted. Then, remove it and let it cool.

When you are ready to get the shaping done, have the cocoa powder prepared. Place it on a plate and get the chilled ganache from the fridge. You will need to scoop out small amounts of these items and form them into balls. Then roll them into the coca powder and coat them generously.

Do use the right quality chocolate for this purpose. Try to avoid those cheaper, overly sweet ones. They tend to make the mixture grainy which makes them a little unpleasant to the taste. Go for really good dark choco brands to get great results.
