Brigadeiros

It's time for something chocolate. These delicious morsels are my very most favorite Brazilian confection. You have to roll them with your hands and they are a sticky mess to make but, hey, you can lick your fingers. I didn't, of course. I wouldn't do anything that unsanitary. I'm just saying you can if you want to.

1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 TBS butter
3 TBS cocoa
Chocolate sprinkles

Over medium-low heat, stir vigorously the first three ingredients.
Cook the mixture until it thickens enough to show the pan bottom during stirring (it will be firm enough to stay together and not spread) Pour into a greased dish and let cool to room temperature (or chill a few minutes in the fridge) Grease your hands with butter and take small amounts of candy and form into 1 ½ inch balls.

Roll the balls in chocolate sprinkles to decorate.

If the balls don't hold their shape, cook an additional 5 minutes until it thickens up more.
