Ingredients

• 200 g Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 20 g Unsalted Butter
• 15 g Cocoa Powder
• 40 g Chocolate Sprinkles

Method

1. Combine {sweetened_condensed_milk}, {unsalted_butter}, and {cocoa_powder} in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly, scraping the bottom and sides, until glossy, thick, and pulling cleanly from the pan; this slow cooking prevents scorching and builds the classic fudgy texture.
2. Transfer the cooked mixture to a lightly buttered plate and spread it slightly so it cools faster. Let it stand until no longer warm and firm enough to roll without sticking heavily to your hands.
3. Lightly grease your hands with the reserved {unsalted_butter}, then roll the chilled mixture into small balls. Coat each one in {chocolate_sprinkles}, pressing gently so the finish adheres evenly.
