Ingredients:

- 1/3 cup Dutch-process or natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles
Directions:
- Combine Ingredients: Place the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and kosher salt in a medium skillet.
- Heat and Stir: Heat over medium heat, stirring slowly with a heatproof spatula. Break up any large lumps by gently pressing on them with the spatula.
- Cook Until Thickened: Continue to cook, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom and sides, until the mixture thickens significantly and pulls away from the sides of the pan to create a fudgy mass in the middle, about 8 to 10 minutes.

- Form the Balls: Scoop out heaping tablespoons of the chilled chocolate mixture and roll into balls (about 1 1/4-inch wide). Roll the balls in the chocolate sprinkles until completely coated. If the mixture starts to stick to your hands, dampen your hands lightly.
- Serve: Place the finished balls on a plate or platter.
