Easy recipe, with just a few ingredients.

A 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
1 TBS butter
3 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder

Chocolate ants (jimmies) or candy sprinkles

You can Google for instructions. Butter a plate and set a side. Cook the first 3 ingredients over low-med. heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly, so it doesn't burn, untill it starts pulling away from the bottom of the pan and starts balling up. Transfer the ball to the plate. Let it cool so you don't burn your hands. Make walnut sized balls and roll them in the jimmies or the sprinkles. I put mine in the small paper liners.

These are a Brazilian treat. We hosted a student from Brazil years ago and they made them for us. Yum

You can also get the bite sized waffle pretzels. Lay the pretzels out on a cookie sheet. Put a Hershey's kiss or hug on each one, and heat in the oven, low temp. as soon as the candy is soft, remove the pan from the oven to a rack. Immediately and lightly push an M&M onto the top of each candy and let cool. Make a lot. There are addictive.

Have fun!
