Preparación

1. mezclar1 min
   cocoa fully dispersed
   Whisk condensed milk and cocoa together before heating so dry cocoa pockets do not survive into the finished candy.
2. cocer a fuego lento10 min
   mixture pulls cleanly from pan bottom
   Cook 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.
3. cool30 min
   cool enough to handle and firm
   Spread on a buttered plate and cool completely. Rolling while warm makes the mixture smear instead of releasing cleanly from your hands.
4. shape8 min
   small smooth balls
   Butter 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.
