Ingredients

1 can (14 Oz. Size) Sweetened Condensed Milk
4 Tablespoons Pure Cocoa Powder
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
2 Tablespoons Crushed Roasted Almonds
2 Tablespoons Powdered Or Crystal Sugar
2 Tablespoons Coconut Flakes
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder

Directions

1

In a small saucepan over medium heat mix condensed milk, cocoa powder and butter. Cook, stirring constantly (never stop stirring!), until thickened, about 15 minutes. Note that the mixture needs to start detaching from the sides of the pan. Allow a few more minutes to get even more thickened. Pour the mix into a greased dish or in a parchment paper (I prefer this) lined dish and let it cool down completely. For better results put it in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight.

When ready to make the balls, grease your hands with some butter, take a teaspoon of the mix and roll it in your hands to form the little balls. Roll the balls in chocolate sprinkles, crystal sugar, crushed almonds, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, coconut flakes or whatever is your favorite covering. Place it in small candy cups (optional) and enjoy!
