Ingredients:

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• A pinch of salt
• Chocolate sprinkles or grated chocolate, for coating

Instructions:

1. In a non-stick pan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, and a pinch of salt over medium-low heat.
2. Stir the mixture continuously using a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
3. Cook the mixture until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. This should take around 10-15 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
5. Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, grease your hands with a little butter to prevent sticking, and then shape small portions of the mixture into bite-sized balls.
6. Roll the balls in chocolate sprinkles or grated chocolate, coating them evenly.
7. Place the Brigadeiros on a parchment-lined tray and allow them to cool completely before serving.
