- 1/8 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)

To Decorate:

- Tap the ball firmly to remove the excess melted white wafers, then return to the cookie sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining truffles.
- Press 2 sprinkles into each truffle to make eyes.
- Transfer the remaining melted white wafers to a piping bag or small zip-top bag and cut off the tip of the bag.
- Pipe stripes onto each ball to make mummy bandages.
- Return to the refrigerator for 5 minutes to harden the chocolate.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
