Brazilian Truffles

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles

1. Melt butter in a 10- or 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. When butter is melted, add in cocoa powder and stir with a spatula until dissolved.
2. Pour sweetened condensed milk into the butter mixture and continue to stir gently with a spatula until the mixture becomes uniform in color.
3. Continue to cook, stirring slowly but constantly, for 5-7 minutes, until the caramel thickens and holds its shape. You should be able to part the caramel easily for several seconds by running your spatula up through the center of the pan.
4. Remove the caramel from the heat and pour it onto a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Spread slightly with a spatula. Allow the caramel to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes (or you can can also pop it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes), until it is firm and not warm to the touch.
5. Shape caramel into 3/4" balls (don't worry if they're not perfect). Roll in chocolate sprinkles, then arrange your brigadeiros on a plate.
6. Chill for at least 15 minutes, then roll the candies between the palms of your hand to make them even rounder. Candies can be served at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
