Ingredients

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (400 gr)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 5 tbsp cocoa powder
  • Colorful sprinkles
  • Granulated chocolate

Instructions

  • In a medium-size pot melt the butter over medium heat. As soon as the butter is melted add the condensed milk. Don’t let the butter brown or it will add a weird flavor. Then add the cocoa powder and stir until it boils and you can see the bottom of the pan when stirring.
  • Take out of the stove and let it chill. Cover with plastic wrap and make sure it touches the mix. Take to the fridge for 3 hours.
  • Cover your hands with butter and make balls with the mix. Cover this balls either with rainbow sprinkles or with granulated chocolate. Take to the fridge for 1 hour. Serve.
