Brazilian Brigadeiros(Fudge Balls)#Eattheworld

This Brigadeiro recipe is so easy to make they are fudgy and melt in the mouth! All you need are just few simple ingredients and this Brazilian candy goodness will be ready in few minutes to satisfy all your sweet cravings!
Medium Size 16-18
Ingredients
1 (14-ounce) Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
¼ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Milk
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Vermicelli or Chocolate Sprinkles

Method
Whisk the milk and cocoa powder together until obtaining a homogeneous mixture (without lumps of cocoa powder). Then, add in the condensed milk stir in the butter.
Cook in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium low flame, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to peel away or show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your wood spoon (about 15 to 20 minutes). 
The chocolate fudge mixture should be thick enough to show you the bottom of the pan for a couple of seconds before the mixture levels out again. Grease you hands with a little butter then touch it if it still sticks to you hand it's not yet ready. When nearly done switch off the flame, add the essence with the heat of stove and pan keep stirring for another 4 to 5 minutes scrapping all the sides.
                            
Remove this on to a greased plate. Let cool to room temperature before starting to roll them into balls with greased hands. Use a tablespoon as measurement.  
Then dredge gently in the chocolate vermicelli until totally covered, place into paper cups.
These fudgy Brazilian treats are perfect for special occasions or for gifting!

My Notes
These chocolate fudge balls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The mixture can be also stored, covered well, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, brought to room temperature, and rolled into balls.
