Brigadeiros

The Brave Astronaut Clan is on the road for Thanksgiving, visiting with Mrs. BA's family.  The only thing that I am aware of that we are on the hook for is the famous Costco Apple Pie but I might try and convince Mrs. BA to make these - if not for Thanksgiving, maybe for an upcoming dinner party that I am hosting.

Brigadeiros
Ingredients for 12 brigadeiros

• 400 g (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, plus more for greasing
• 40 g (⅓ cup) cocoa powder
• chocolate sprinkles, to decorate

Preparation

1. Put a pot on a medium low heat and melt the butter with the condensed milk.
2. Stir in the cocoa powder and continue to stir for 10-15 minutes until the mixture begins to pull away from the edge of the pot.
3. It’s done when you run the spoon through the centre of the mixture and it takes a few seconds to combine again.
4. Spread the mixture onto a buttered plate and refrigerate for 2 hours.
5. When set, roll the mixture into small balls and coat them in the chocolate sprinkles, (you may need to apply a small amount of butter to your hands to help them from sticking).
6. Enjoy!
