Directions
- 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, preferably round with high sides, combine the condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter, stirring until smooth and well blended.
- 2
Microwave on high power for 6 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir the mixture thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- 3
Remove from the microwave and stir energetically until you get a smooth, glossy fudge that pulls away slightly from the sides of the bowl.
- 4
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm, then shape into small balls using lightly buttered hands, roll generously in sprinkles, and place in mini paper cups.
💡 Chef's Tip
Butter your hands before rolling to prevent sticking. If the mixture is too soft after cooking, microwave in additional 1-minute intervals until the right consistency is reached. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
