Instructions

Step 1: In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Step 2: After 5 minutes, stir in 1 medium finely mashed ripe banana and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens and starts pulling away from the pan sides, resembling a fudge consistency.
Step 3: Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a greased bowl. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm enough to handle.
Step 4: Using buttered hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in 1/2 cup mini chocolate sprinkles to coat fully. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill until ready to serve.
