Method
Cooking
In a deep saucepan, combine the condensed milk, margarine, and your choice of chocolate powder.
Place over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away cleanly from the bottom of the pan.
Finishing
Transfer the mixture to a greased plate and let it cool completely.
Once cooled, grease your palms and roll small portions into balls, then roll them in chocolate sprinkles to coat.
Chef's Notes
Grease your hands with a little butter before rolling the balls to prevent sticking.
