Brigadeiro (chocolate sweet)

Ingredients:
- 1 can of condensed milk (405g);
- 200ml milk;
- 1 tbsp butter;
- 6 tbsps chocolate powder;
- chocolate sprinkle or hundreds-and-thousands or silver balls;
- mini paper cases



In a sauce pan, add the condensed milk, milk and butter. Take it to boil, stirring all the time.
When the butter melts, add the chocolate powder.



After boiling, keep stirring for around 20 minutes or until the mixture stops sticking on the bottom of the pan. It is a very thick and sticky consistency.
Take it off the heat and set aside to cool down completely. You can put it in the fridge if necessary.


Spread the chocolate sprinkle on a plate and place the paper cases on a separate plate.
Spread butter in your hands, so the brigadeiro won't stick.
With a teaspoon, take a litte bit of the mixture and roll into small balls, truffle size.
Roll the truffle on the sprinkle plate and place it in the paper case.



It is a messy business, but everybody loves it. :)

P.S.: you can also make another version, without the chocolate powder, adding grated coconut and using granulated sugar instead of sprinkles. This version is called "coconut kiss". :)
