Steps

1
Put the condensed milk, cocoa, butter and salt in a non-stick pan.
2
Cook over a medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the bottom of the pan.

Spread it on a buttered plate and leave to cool completely.
4
With buttered hands, roll small balls of about 15 g.
5
Roll them in the chocolate sprinkles and put them in paper cases.

Tips and questions

How do I know the mixture is ready?: When you tilt the pan the mixture slides away in one mass and you can see the bottom for a couple of seconds.
Why is it too soft to roll?: It was taken off the heat too early or not cooled enough. Chill it for an hour and grease your hands with butter before rolling.
How long do they keep?: Two days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge in a closed box; serve them at room temperature.
