Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium-low heat; stir constantly with a wooden spoon for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the pan sides.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the thickened fudge mixture to a greased plate and let it cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Once cooled, butter your hands with 1 tbsp butter, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the fudge mixture, and roll each into a smooth ball.
  4. Step 4: Roll each ball in 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles until fully coated and place on a lined tray; refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
