Hi Imran,

Are you wanting to make chocolate in the shape of a smooth ball or a particular type of ball, like a baseball, basketball, soccer ball, football, etc.?

It really is quite easy.

1. Purchase the chocolate and a ball shaped mold at Candyland Crafts. You can choose from a variety of sports ball molds
   or just use a regular truffle mold. If you can purchase them somewhere locally in your country, that will work just fine.
   
   
   
2. Melt the chocolate. To use a microwave, heat for 30 seconds then stir. Repeat until it is melted and smooth. Don't overheat!
   
   To use a double boiler, place an inch or two of water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Place a bowl over the top and melt the chocolate in the bowl, stirring until smooth. Be very careful not to allow any water (moisture or steam) to get in the chocolate or the chocolate will seize and get all stiff and crumbly.
   
   
3. Fill the molds with the melted chocolate and tap the mold on the top of the table or counter to remove any air bubbles. Allow the chocolate to set until firm.
   
   
4. Tip the molded chocolate out onto a tray and then "glue" 2 molds together with some more melted chocolate to form a complete ball.

I hope that helps you make chocolate in ball shape to your satisfaction. Have fun!
