Instructions

1. 1

   In a small sauce pan mix the sweet condensed milk, the cocoa powder, the salt and the butter.

2. 2

   Bring the sauce pan to the stove and heat it over medium-low heat.

3. 3

   Cook it, mixing constantly (this is important, otherwise it will burn!) until it thickens. A way to know is to run your wooden spoon (or spatula) in the middle of the mixture. If it takes a while for the mixture to move, then your brigadeiro is ready!

4. 4

   Reserve, letting it cool to room temperature.

5. 5

   In a plate or bowl, spread your sprinkles.

6. 6

   Once the brigadeiro is cool, grease your hands with butter and roll the brigadeiros into little balls. (In Brazil we usually use half a tablespoon as measurement, but you can make your balls as big or small as you'd like!)

7. 7

   Roll the brigadeiro balls into the sprinkles and place them in paper/foil candy cups.
