Brigadeiro is a traditional Brazilian dessert that is popular all over the world. It's made with three simple ingredients that are combined into a rich and creamy mixture, rolled into small balls, and coated in sprinkles. The result is a delicious and indulgent treat with a smooth and chocolatey flavor. Brigadeiro is often served at parties, celebrations, and gatherings, and it's a great way to add a touch of sweetness to any occasion.

Instructions

1.	In a medium saucepan, mix the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and chocolate-flavor Nestle Nesquik powder.
2.	Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the pan. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
3.	Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. The brigadeiro should be sticky and pliable.
4.	Roll the brigadeiro mixture into small balls, about the size of a cherry.
5.	Roll the balls in chocolate or rainbow sprinkles to coat.
