Ingredients:

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk 1 c. unsweetened cocoa 1 Tbsp butter 3 1/2 oz (1/2 c.) chocolate sprinkles

Instructions:

In a 2-3 quart pan over medium-low heat, stir milk, cocoa, and butter until mixture starts to bubble. Stir until mixture holds together as a soft mass when pushed to side of pan, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until cool enough to touch. With buttered hands, shape mixture into 1 inch balls and roll in sprinkles to coat.

Brigadeiros

1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 Tbsp cocoa

Add ingredients to saucepan.  Cook on medium heat until the mixture (very thick) starts to bubble.  Stir constantly.  Reduce to low and keep stirring until you can see the bottom of the pan when you stir and it doesn't immediately go back..  It will be quite thick.  I think it usually takes about 10 min.  Remove from heat.  Allow to cool until you can touch it without getting burned.

Coat your hands with butter, oil or Pam.  Take about a tablespoon of the chocolate and roll into a ball.  Then roll it into some chocolate sprinkles, coconut or whatever you'd like.  Place rolls in the fridge to cool.

Yummy Brazilian treat!
