2 Tbsp. butter
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
chocolate sprinkles
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Stir it constantly until it thickens and reduces down quite a bit (her website says that you will be able to see quite a bit of the bottom of the pan, and that is what happened after I had stirred it for about 10 minutes). Take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once it has cooled, butter your hands and begin to roll the candy into bite size balls. Roll each ball in the chocolate sprinkles. You can serve them at room temperature, or chilled. I had mine after it had chilled and it was so delicious!
