Hello! I am Sarah and this is one of my family's recipes. It is called Brigadeiro, which is a Brazillian chocolate ball. They became popular after WWII when fresh milk was sparse and people had to resort to using condensed milk to create delicious treats. My grandfather was born in Brazil near Rio De Jeneiro in the late 1920s. He spent his childhood and a part of his adulthood in Brazil. From the time that he spent in brazil, the recipes and aspects of the rich brazilian culture traveled through my family.
1.) In a small sauce pan mix the sweet condensed milk, the cocoa powder, the salt and the butter.
2.) Bring the sauce pan to the stove and heat it over medium-low heat.
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.)Let it cool to room temperature.
5.)In a plate or bowl, spread your sprinkles.Once the brigadeiro is cool, grease your hands with butter and roll the brigadeiros into little balls.
6.) Roll the chocolate balls in the sprinkles and after they are completely covered, they are ready to serve and eat!
