Directions
- 1
Whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, margarine, and sugar in a medium saucepan until fully combined.
- 2
Cook over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon — constant movement is essential to prevent sticking and burning.
- 3
After about 15 minutes, the mixture will thicken into a dense, fudge-like consistency that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- 4
Remove from heat and pour into a lightly greased dish. Allow to cool completely at room temperature before handling.
- 5
Once cooled and firm, roll into small balls with lightly buttered hands and coat in sprinkles or shredded coconut if desired.
💡 Chef's Tip
Never stop stirring — it may feel like nothing is happening, but the texture transforms right around the 15-minute mark. For a gourmet touch, try rolling the bites in crushed pistachios or a pinch of sea salt flakes.
