1/2 cup of pastel-colored sprinkles
Other materials needed:
Parchment paper
Baking sheet

Step 2: Shaping the balls
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Dip each chocolate ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to coat it evenly. Place the coated ball back onto the lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle some pastel-colored sprinkles on top of each ball before the white chocolate sets.
Place the baking sheet back in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to allow the coating to set.
Step 4: Serving and storing
Once the coating has set, your Easter balls are ready to be served and enjoyed. You can also store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
