Cook Time
Ingredients
- 300 milliliters Condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons Chocolate powder
- 1 tablespoon Butter or margarine
- 100 grams Sprinkles
- Paper cups
- A small pan
Instructions
- Put the condensed milk in a small pan with the chocolate powder and butter/margarine. Heat it in low temperatures mixing nonstop for about 10 minutes. As you mix, do not let the contents stick to the bottom of the pan.
- As soon as the mixture is sticky turn the stove off and let it sit for a couple minutes until you can put it on your hands without getting burnt.
- Before putting the chocolate on your hands, make sure to grease it with the butter or margarine. It does not need to be a lot of grease, just enough so the chocolate doesn’t stick to your hands.
- When your hands are correctly greased, you can get small portions of the chocolate cream (around 1 teaspoon) at a time and make balls with it. After the balls are made you can roll them on the sprinkles and finally put them in the paper cups.
