Cool to room temperature or until firm enough to shape., With cocoa-dusted hands, shape chocolate mixture into 1-in. balls. Place on a waxed paper-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Refrigerate until very firm, about 30 minutes., For coating, in top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over barely simmering water, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth.
