Instructions

Step 1: Combine 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 2: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Step 3: Roll each ball in 2 tablespoons powdered sugar to coat completely. Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
