Servings 2 Dozen teaspoons sized balls
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 heaping tablespoons of Nesquick chocolate drink powder*
- 1/4 cup butter
- Chocolate Jimmies
- Non-stick cooking spray
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk the condensed milk and chocolate drink mix together. Add the butter. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. You want the mixture to be caramel-like in texture.
Remove mixture from heat and pour into a pyrex dish. Once mixture is completely cooled, spray your hands with non-stick spray and roll mixture into teaspoon-sized balls. Place jimmies in a shallow bowl and roll the balls in the sprinkles to cover. Place candies in foil or paper candy cups for serving.
*Unsweetened cocoa powder may be substituted for the chocolate drink powder.
