Instructions: Pour the condensed milk into a saucepan. Add cocoa powder and stir until you get the shade of brown you wish. You can add one spoon of butter if you like. Heat gently and stir continuously with the wooden spoon until the paste begins to boil out of the saucepan. Pour the brigadeiro into a soup dish and let it cool.

Then rub butter on your hands and on a teaspoon. With the teaspoon, take a piece of brigadeiro and roll it with your hand until it becomes a ball.

Roll the brigadeiro ball in chocolate pieces and put it into a paper mould.
