These delightful chocolate sprinkle truffles are a twist on the classic Brazilian brigadeiros, offering a rich and creamy treat that's perfect for any occasion.
Combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter in a saucepan.
Use a non-stick saucepan to prevent the mixture from sticking and burning.
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Keep stirring to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature on a plate.
Spread the mixture thinly on the plate to speed up cooling.
With buttered hands, shape the mixture into small balls.
Butter your hands lightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Roll each ball in the chocolate sprinkles to coat evenly.
Place the sprinkles in a shallow bowl for easy rolling.
Place each coated truffle in a paper candy cup and refrigerate until firm.
Refrigerating helps the truffles set and enhances their texture.
