Food processor

Wood spoon

175 grams (1 cup) Cacao Barry Ocoa 70% dark chocolate or your favourite dark chocolate
45 mL (3 tbsp) corn syrup

Mix really well with a wooden spoon.
Let stand about 20 minutes and then form the mixture into 1-inch balls (roughly 13 grams mixture per ball).
Roll the balls in granulated sugar. Store in an airtight container.
