Steps
- Mix1 mincocoa fully dispersedWhisk condensed milk and cocoa together before heating so dry cocoa pockets do not survive into the finished candy.
- Simmer10 minmixture pulls cleanly from pan bottomCook with butter over medium-low heat, stirring continuously and scraping the corners. Stop when a spatula dragged across the pan leaves a clear path for a moment; undercooked mixture will not hold a ball, while scorched milk turns grainy and bitter.
- Cool30 mincool enough to handle and firmSpread on a buttered plate and cool completely. Rolling while warm makes the mixture smear instead of releasing cleanly from your hands.
- Shape8 minsmall smooth ballsButter your hands lightly, roll into bite-size balls, then coat in chocolate sprinkles. Keep the coating thin enough that the soft chocolate center remains the dominant texture.
