Ingredients
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (14oz / 397g)
- 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (14g)
- 3.4 oz Dark Chocolate (100g)
- Vermicelli or other toppings for decoration
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate by breaking it into pieces and adding it to a saucepan with the butter and condensed milk. Heat over medium-low heat while stirring until melted and thickened.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, scraping the bottom often until the mixture thickens enough to draw a line that fills back in slowly.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool at room temperature; then refrigerate until completely chilled.
- Scoop out chilled mixture with a teaspoon and roll into walnut-sized balls.
- Roll each ball in vermicelli or your choice of topping before placing them in paper liners.
