Instructions

1. 1
   In a heavy saucepan, combine the milk, cocoa powder, and butter. Stir to dissolve the chocolate.
2. 2
   Put over low heat and stir constantly to avoid formation of lumps.
3. 3
   Continue stirring for 10–12 minutes, or until you are able to see the bottom of the pot for one second when you scratch it side-to-side with the spoon. The more you cook, the harder the resulting candy will be—it may vary from liquid fudge to hard candy.
4. 4
   Allow mixture to cool.
5. 5
   Butter your hands, and roll the mixture into small balls (around 2 cm in diameter). Alternatively, you can use two metal spoons to shape the candies. Roll them in the chocolate sprinkles.
