Melt the butter in a non stick pan. Once the butter has melted add in the condensed milk and mix . Add the cocoa powder (dissolved in little water) and mix. Heat while stirring with a wooden spoon.
Continue until it thickens and you can see the bottom of the pan (like in picture) . The mixture should coat the back of your spoon . This might take 15-20 mins.
Spread it onto a plate ( stainless steel should be good) or baking tray or foil/ parchment and chill for about 30 minutes to firm it up.
Take spoonfuls of this mixture in your greased (with butter) hands and make balls. You could use teaspoonfuls and make small ones or tablespoonfuls for big ones.
Roll in the sprinkles/cocoa/nuts. Place all the rolled truffles in the fridge for another 30 minutes to firm up.
