Place into the freezer overnight
Using a double boiler, melt the second bag of white chocolate wafers
Once the chocolate is melted, take the cake balls out of the freezer
Carefully peel the larger cake ball off the parchment paper

Carefully dip the whole cake ball into the chocolate
Very lightly shake off excess chocolate and then place it back onto the cookie sheet
Repeat the step with the remaining bottoms

Carefully dip the head into the melted chocolate and then carefully place the head onto the center part of the body
