Brigadeiros

1. 1

   In a saucepan over medium heat mix the condensed milk, cocoa and butter. Cook, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon for about 10-12 minutes or until thickened. You will know that is ready when you are able to see the bottom of the pan when tilting it.

2. 2

   Remove from the heat and carefully transfer the hot mixture to a separate greased bowl to cool. Cover you hands wit butter and roll the mixture into small balls. Roll the ball over the chocolate sprinkles until completely covered. Enjoy!

3. 3

   Variation: You can add to the mixture, while still warm small pieces of cookies (we like to use shortbread cookies) and serve it in a large bowl. This is called Brigadeirao, and it is an easy option as you skip all the work that making the small balls and covered them with chocolate sprinkles requires.
