Chocolate Cannonballs

Ingredients
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1oz of butter
3 large tablespoons of cocoa powder
Chocolate 100s and 1000s (chocolate granules) for decoration

Method

1.  Place cocoa powder, condensed milk and butter in heavy saucepan. 

2.  Heat the mixture slowly on low heat stirring constantly until resembles a fudge like consistency, but not too stiff. If you cook the mixture too long the it becomes too hard and is chewy. 

3.  Remove from saucepan, put into a dish and allow to cool completely. 

4.  Pour chocolate 100s and 1000s onto a plate.

5.  Grease your hands with butter or margarine before rolling the chocolate mixture into little balls as this prevents it sticking to your hands as you form into balls.
