How to Make Chocolate Mousse Balls

Melt 12 ounces of your favorite milk chocolate candy bars in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Remove from heat and let the melted chocolate cool completely for 10-15 minutes. This prevents the whipped topping from melting.
In a large bowl, gently fold 14 ounces of whipped topping into the cooled melted chocolate until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
Once chilled, use a spoon or cookie scoop to form 1-inch balls.
Roll each chocolate ball in finely crushed vanilla wafers.
Store the finished Chocolate Mousse Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 2 weeks.
