This from "Cuisines of Portuguese Encounters", in which the author gives recipes she had during travelling thru Portugal and its former colonies. This is a Brazilian recipe, named for a famous Brazilian Air Force Commander in the 1940's. He was a chocoholic. Often served at birthday parties and other festivities. I haven't made it yet.

20 balls (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate sprinkles

Directions

1
In medium pan, combine milk and cocoa powder. Cook over low, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 20 minutes. Add butter and salt. Mix thoroughly before removing from heat.
2
When mixture is cool, rub hands with butter and shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in chocolate sprinkles. Place in mini paper cupcake forms.
3
Store in fridge until served.
