Directions:

1) Put the condensed milk, cocoa powder, chocolate powder and butter in a saucepan. On low heat stir with a wooden spoon for about 35- 40 minutes. When the mixture starts to thicken pour it on a buttered dish.

2) Once the mixture has cooled for about 5 minutes, grease your hands with some vegetable oil or spray and then use them to form balls a bit smaller than ping pong balls. Dip them in the chocolate sprinkles.
