Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish lightly with 1 tbsp butter.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes gently to prevent burning, until thickened and fudgy.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
  5. Step 5: Using a buttered spoon, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball in 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles to coat evenly.
  6. Step 6: Place brigadeiros in paper liners and serve chilled or at room temperature.
