Baking tools for this recipe
Instructions
- Combine the condensed milk, cocoa, butter and salt in a nonstick saucepan.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, 10 to 12 minutes until thick enough that the spoon leaves a trail showing the bottom of the pan for 2 seconds.
- Pour onto a buttered plate and cool to room temperature, then chill 30 minutes until firm enough to roll.
- Butter your palms, roll teaspoon-sized portions into 1-inch (25 mm) balls.
- Roll each ball in chocolate sprinkles and set in small paper cups.
Tips
- Do not walk away; scorched condensed milk tastes bitter.
- If the mix is too loose, cook a little longer.
- Add a splash of vanilla for a fuller flavor.
- Good with black coffee.
