Yesterday I made a half batch following all the advice that was given (cool 30 minutes, refrigerate, freeze, etc.) and after hours in the kitchen I was ready to pull my hair out and throw it all in the trash. They came out way too sweet, way too gooey, and impossible to work with. Today I almost threw the other half of cake away but decided to give it another try - MY way - and they came out pretty darn good and I was done start to finish in less than one hour. The cake cooled overnight room temp; melted the (1/2 or less)frosting before adding; smashed it all together with my hands until it was like a cookie dough; skipped cookie scoops, melon ballers, etc and just rolled them in my hand; did not refrigerate or freeze; melted chocolate in a pie plate and rolled them. Oila! I think when they're refrigerated and cold the chocolate sets up too quick and makes the outer coating too thick; hence, too sweet. At room temp I got a perfect coating - not too thick, not too thin. I also believe without the refrigeration they have a better texture. The ones from the day before are still gooey. I *might* make these again.
