Brazilian Brigadeiros: Sweet Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:

• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Chocolate sprinkles or grated chocolate, for coating
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a non-stick saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
2. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
3. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
4. Grease your hands with a bit of butter, then take small portions of the mixture and roll them into small, bite-sized balls.
5. Roll the balls in chocolate sprinkles or grated chocolate to coat them evenly.
6. Place the brigadeiros in small paper cups or on a plate lined with wax paper.
7. Let them cool and set for a few hours or overnight.
