Sure, there’s still time. All you need is a double boiler, some chocolate, a few well-chosen things to dip into that chocolate, and some patience.
Parchment paper works well as a cooling area/landing pad. You can move the chocolates easily off it once they’re set.
Lehman’s offers two models, the Double Boiler, and the Stainless Steel Double Boiler. I prefer the Stainless Steel Double Boiler because of its squared-off lid handle and three-ply steel lower pan. They’re well matched, though, and choice comes down to small preferences.

Set up a double boiler with a small amount of water in the bottom pan.
Heat water to a gentle simmer, never boiling hard.
Make sure the top pan does not touch the water.
Chop chocolate into even pieces.
Add chocolate to the top pan in batches.
Stir constantly as it melts.
Add more chocolate only after the previous batch is fully melted.
Keep water level checked so it does not run dry.
Remove from heat if chocolate begins to overheat.
Never allow water or steam droplets to get into the chocolate.
Prepare a parchment paper–lined tray before melting begins.
Work quickly once chocolate is melted, as it will begin to set as it cools.
