Making Brigadeiros is a Challenge

Hi everyone! Happy Spring Break!
I have tried to make brigadeiros twice already. They come out too sticky when trying to roll them into shape. But not to worry, the third time is a charm. I will try them again. The recipe came from a popular cookbook in Brazil: Dona Benta.

Ingedients:

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp powdered chocolate
granulated chocolate to roll the brigadeiros.

Directions:
Stir together milk, chocolate and butter over medium heat until mixture leaves sides of pan.
It should look like a thick paste.
Let cool just long enough for you to be able to handle it.
Shape into walnut size balls and roll them in the granulated chocolate.

Enjoy!
I'm happy to see people have already voted on my poll, so please dont' forget to vote!
