Chocolate! They say that eating large amounts of chocolate provokes a biochemical reaction very similar to the emotions we call love and lust. People who have been dumped recently will tell you this is true. We're wondering what happens when you have lots of chocolate when you are already in love? Read more ?
Ingredients:
2 cans of condensed milk
1 stick of butter
1 cup chocolate powder (sweetened)
1 cup of chocolate sprinkles
mini cupcake holders or similar packaging.
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, melt half of the butter. When
2. melted, add the condensed milk and
3. chocolate powder and mix well and simmer
4. over low heat for about 15 minutes until the
5. mix achieves the right consistency (this
6. happens when you pass the spoon across
7. the middle of the pan and the space you
8. created stays for a few seconds). Turn off
9. the heat and set aside.
10. Prepare your work station. We'recommend
11. covering a table surface with newspaper. On
12. this place a large plate or tray and a bowl.
13. Fill the bowl with the chocolate sprinkles.
14. Also, put the remaining butter on a small
15. plate which provides easy access.
16. When the chocolate mixture has cooled for
17. about ten minutes and is warm enough to
18. handle, bring the saucepan to your work
19. station. Butter your hands thoroughly. Pick
20. out a small bit of the mixture from the pan
21. using your thumb, forefinger and middle
22. finger. Roll this into a ball using both hands
23. and toss into the bowl of sprinkles. Roll the
24. ball in the sprinkles until it is coated and
25. then place into one of the mini-cupcake
26. holders or directly onto your tray or plate.
27. Repeat until you've finished the mixture
28. buttering your hands as often as necessary
29. to prevent the mixture from sticking to them.
30. Allow them to sit for about one hour at room
31. temperature (if you refrigerate they will get
32. hard and very sticky, like toffee).
33. Serves all the people who need some lovin’
34. Note:
35. (Women) If you have just been dumped, I recommend you save your sprinkles and eat
36. the whole mixture straight out of the pan
37. with a wooden spoon while sitting in front of
38. the TV watching Gone with the Wind or a
39. Meg Ryan movie on your VCR.
