Chocolate truffles

Brigadeiros – Brazil

1.	Combine the cocoa, butter, condensed milk in a medium sauce pan
2.	Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan and burning. Mix until the mixture begins to thicken and detaches itself cleanly from the pan when you stir
3.	Take the pan off the stove. Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, but still warm, grease the palms of your hands with some oil and form small balls about an inch (1.5-2 cm) in diameter
4.	Roll each ball in your topping of choice and set aside to let it cool
