Brigadeiro's

warning: These are very rich and yummy chocolately desserts!

Ingredients:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 Tbsp butter
1-2 Tbsp cocoa powder (or however chocolately you prefer)

Heat the milk and butter on low-med heat and as it gets hotter, gradually add the chocolate powder. stirring constantly.
Continue stirring occasionally until the milk thickens. You want it to reduce to a good thickness that it doesn't run off the spoon.

Once it is thick, take off the heat and let it cool in the pan: now you are ready to form into balls.

grease your hands with butter and start forming into balls (about 1/2 in) and dip into chocolate sprinkles.
serve shortly after and enjoy!

This is awesome. Very easy... We had them on Father's Day.

Ingredients:
Your favorite brownie mix
6 mini butterfinger bars or 2 full size bars
1/2 cup of chocolate chips

Directions: Prepare the brownie mix as directed. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spray pan and pour batter in 9x13 pan. In a ziplock bag, put your butterfinger bars in. Take out your frustrations, and beat it with a rolling pin to crush them. :) Then sprinkle on the top of the brownie batter. Bake as directed on the box.. And wha-la, you have yummy butterfinger brownies!

Ok these are delish and super easy..
thank you Cari for introducing these to me!
we had these at Bunco and they were a hit.. everyone loved them
start with a box of chocolate cake..or any kind and follow recipe on the box..or if you like homemade cake..then do that.
once the cake is done, put in a bowl and mix with 1 package of cream cheese and form into balls
melt a bag of baking chocolate and dip balls into melted chocolate.. cool on wax paper
melt some white baking chocolate and put in ziploc bag, cut a small hole in the corner and drizzle the top
presto, you have yourself a yummy truffle
