Brigadeiros (Chocolate Balls)

Brigadeiros are a Brazilian treat that my grandmother used to make. They have a great creamy taste and a fudge-like texture. They are very simple to make and make great treats to put out when company comes over. The best part is, you only need 4 ingredients!

Ingredients:
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoon cocoa powder
Spinkles (optional)


Combine sweetened condensed milk, butter and cocoa powder in medium saucepan.

Cook over medium-low heat, stir vigorously

Cook the mixture until it thickens enough to show the pan bottom during stirring.

Pour the mixture in a greased dish and let it cool to room temperature. Take small amounts of the mixture with a teaspoon and make 1 ½ inch balls.

Roll the balls over sprinkles to decorate. (optional)

Note** Grease your hands with margarine to make the balls easily.
