Using a mini ice cream scoop, form the mixture in 1 inch balls and place on the prepared sheets. Chill until firm about 10-15 minutes. While the balls are chilling, melt the remaining 6 oz. of chocolate. After it's completely melted, allow to cool slightly before continuing. Place cocoa in small bowl. Remove the balls from the refrigerator. Using one hand, dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Roll it around in your hand, allow the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the truffle in the cocoa. With your clean hand, cover the truffle with cocoa.
