Brazilian Brigadeiros

Ingredients

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp unsalted butter
sprinkles to coat

Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and heat on the stove (low-medium heat).
Continuously stir the mixture for about 10 minutes (or until the spoon leaves a trail) without letting it bubble or boil.
Immediately transfer the brigadeiro mix to a heatproof bowl and let cool for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
Remove the bowl from the fridge and set up workstation with some water to prevent sticking and sprinkles to coat.
Wet hands and take about a tablespoon of the mix and roll in a ball using the palm of your hands.
Roll the ball in sprinkles to coat and enjoy!
