Remember that when the condensed milk cools back down, you will be working relatively quickly to make the balls so it doesn’t set too quickly. Not only can you choose your favourite cocoa intensity, but you can also roll the truffles in some bright rainbow sprinkles or add another layer of chocolate sprinkles. Add some coffee essence to intensify the flavours too! Serve them in different coloured paper cupcake cups and enjoy!
