Ingredients
US
Metric
- 1 can (395 g) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 1 box (482 g) of chocolate sprinkles
Make it lactose-friendly
- 1 can (395 g) of sweetened condensed milk → lactose-free milk, oat milk, or almond milk
- 1 tablespoon of butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil
Steps
- In a heavy saucepan, combine the milk, cocoa powder, and butter. Stir to dissolve the chocolate.
- Put over low heat and stir constantly to avoid formation of lumps.
- Continue stirring for 10–12 minutes, or until you are able to see the bottom of the pot for one second when you scratch it side-to-side with the spoon. The more you cook, the harder the resulting candy will be—it may vary from liquid fudge to hard candy.
- Allow mixture to cool.
- Butter your hands, and roll the mixture into small balls (around 2 cm in diameter). Alternatively, you can use two metal spoons to shape the candies. Roll them in the chocolate sprinkles.
