Ingredients:
1 (14 oz/395g) can sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon butter, softened plus more for greasing hands for rolling
1 package chocolate sprinkles
Instructions:
In a heavy saucepan, mix the milk, cocoa and butter. Stir to dissolve the chocolate. Put over low heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring and cooking until you are able to see the bottom of the pot when you tilt the pan (the mixture will just slide quickly). This should take 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a greased plate. Let cool. Butter your hands and roll the mixture into small balls and roll over the chocolate sprinkles.
Variations:
You can substitute the cocoa powder for 100g baking chocolate. If you want a lighter candy use powdered chocolate (such as quick). You can also put raisins or nuts in the center of the candy. You can decorate with powdered sugar or cocoa powder instead of chocolate sprinkles, or just eat it by the spoonful!
