How to Make Brigadeiro - Brazil's Favorite Party Treat

Turn the stove on to medium-low temperature.

Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a non-stick pot and let it melt.

Dissolve 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder in a little water to avoid lumps.

Add the entire can of condensed milk to the melted butter in the pot.

Stir continuously for about 20 minutes to prevent burning, making sure to scrape the sides of the pot.

When the mixture starts to separate and takes a while to come back together, it is ready.

Transfer the brigade mixture to a plate and let it chill for about 30 minutes in the fridge.

Butter your hands to prevent sticking, then scoop a small amount of the mixture and roll it into a ball.

Roll the ball in chocolate sprinkles to coat it.

Place the brigade in mini baking cups and chill for another 15 minutes before serving.
