Whisk in chopped chocolate and butter until melted and smooth. (If necessary, return to microwave on High about 1 min to melt chocolate and butter completely.) Whisk in espresso powder. Refrigerate 5 to 6 hours, or until mixture is firm enough to hold its shape.

2. With a small ice cream scoop or melon baller, scoop chilled mixture into 1¼-inch balls. Roll in cocoa to coat completely.

Place on wax paper-lined jelly-roll pans. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Store in airtight container in refrigerator 2 weeks or in freezer 1 month. Serve at room temperature.
