Chocolate Brigadeiros are an ultra rich, fudgy, and chocolaty Brazilian treat. Rolled in sprinkles and perfectly bite-sized, they're perfect for any party.
In a medium saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, cream, and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Once the mixture starts to bubble, add the chocolate and cocoa powder, whisking to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is dense and fudgy, about 8 to 10 minutes. The mixture is done when you swirl the pan and the mixture slides as one soft piece, leaving a thick residue on the bottom of the pan.
Slide the mixture to a medium bowl (without scraping the bottom) and cool to room temperature. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Place the sprinkles in a shallow dish. Roll the mixture into teaspoon-sized balls then roll in the sprinkles. Store the brigadeiros in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature.
