If I were handing out awards to the contents of our pantry, sweetened condensed milk would definitely get an MVP. Hmm...I’m loving this idea, actually. Seth, Max and I could get all dolled up, head to the kitchen with stacks of envelopes, and announce winners for awards, like the people's choice award for favorite vegetable, or most improved in pasta... Anyway, sweetened condensed milk always comes through. You can turn it into dulce de leche (and put it on anything and everything – ice cream, cookies, these rice krispies treats). It can make an awesome pumpkin pie filling, and it makes super easy candies. Combining it with cocoa powder and Nutella (Nutella would totally be in the running for an award as well – best in spreads/condiments perhaps) makes for some fun and chocolaty goodness. Yay for sweetened condensed milk!
Ingredients
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons Nutella
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
bowl of chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
Combine cocoa powder, Nutella, butter, salt and condensed milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring continuously, until mixture becomes super thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest until cool enough to handle. Spray some cooking spray on hands and form into small balls. Roll the balls in the bowl of chocolate sprinkles.
I love the idea of awards. I think flour would have to be on my list for least glamorous but most used.
ReplyDeleteThanx for stopping by my blog..Those look cute n yumm,very rich n chocolatey..
ReplyDeleteI could probably just keep dipping my finger into the sweetened condensed milk until it was all gone. I heart that stuff.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my kitchen award goes to canned tomatoes and chicken broth. Hands down!
And finally, YUM!
How simple yet tasty looking! Perfect. I love sweetened condensed milk too because it is so versatile (and you can make it into dulce de leche too!).

Aw-the awards are so cute!! This candy looks super tasty, I'd probably eat like 10 then be like..."huh?"
ReplyDeleteHoly crap!!! These look AMAZING! Yummmmmy! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree - sweetened condensed milk is fantastic. I love making toffee bars and they have two tins of sweetened condensed milk. Probably not the healthiest, but sooooo good :) *hehe*
I would want front seats to that awards show! (awards...award...who knows?)
ReplyDeleteThese look deliciously evil! Their tiny, cuteness would make me want to eat them all in one sitting. Good work! :D
This is very simple: anything Nutella is delicious, period.
ReplyDeleteOoooooh man. I want a huge tray please!
ReplyDeleteHa-love the awards idea! We have some stuff that goes fast and some that I think no one wants.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow this candy looks tasty. Come to think of it my Easter did not include any Nutella, so it would be a great idea if you sent these here. Fed ex please!
What a fun and simple recipe! Not to mention the fact that Nutella is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh wow -mouth was watering at just title and picture... :D
ReplyDeleteCheers

These look brilliant. I love little treats like this, perfect to take to work to cheer you up!
ReplyDeleteThese sound fabulous! And I totally agree about sweetened condensed milk! Your Rice Krispie treats are a must try recipe, too :)
ReplyDeleteThese look like such happy treats. I don't know if I have enough paper to make the awards I'd want to give. :)
ReplyDeletethis is major genius kind of stuff. Nutella is one of my biggest addictions and in candy/truffle form...my skinny jeans won't stand a chance!
ReplyDeleteMmmm nutella is one of my most favorite items to bake with. The idea of putting into candy just blew my mind though. These look fab :D
ReplyDeleteOMG these sound sinful. I've got to make these!
ReplyDeleteI love using sweetened condensed milk. What I love even more, is the leftovers that I get to scrape out of the can. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese are very similar to a traditional Brazilian candy Brigadeiros! :D
ReplyDeleteHehe, like these?

Such an easy and delicious recipe! They look heavenly!
ReplyDeleteNutella! I think this is one of the best "ingredients" in the world!
ReplyDeleteI love sweetened condensed milk! These look soooo yummy. I'm a huge Nutella fan (isn't everyone?) and these are going to the top of my must-try list!
ReplyDeleteFirst time at your blog and loved it. These look sinfully delicious! Happy following your blog :)
ReplyDeleteFirst time here...you have a great blog. The candy looks yummy:)
ReplyDeleteYay for Nutella Fudge Truffles! Delectable!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jenn. As you know, I frequent your blog quite often. I love all the yummy stuff you post. I just wanted to stop by and give you the versatile blogger award. Keep on doing what you do.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jennie!
DeleteNow I'm wondering which ingredients in my kitchen I'd award. Definitely the flaky sea salt. And, these candies look delightful!
ReplyDeleteJenn and Seth, two of my favourite people in Blogdom :-)... I love your passion for food and cooking and so here's a little gift from my blog to yours. Do check it out at http://averilgomes.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/mocha-chocolate-chunk-oatmeal-cookies-with-candied-ginger-and-a-blog-arward/
ReplyDeleteHave a great new week.
Thanks again, Averil! We love you too!
DeleteThe candies look delicious! My son would devour them in seconds!
ReplyDeleteNutella fudge candy? YUM. I knew I had to have one of these from that title, simple and perfect!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fudge is Peanut Butter, but this Nutella Fudge is a close second. It is a little different from most fudge recipes you will find because I make it with Nutella and Molasses. Give it a try!
