These are a Brazilian candy, very similar to chocolate caramels. I found the recipe in an Avon International Cookbook, and this recipe was submitted by one of their Brazilian representatives. Prep time includes shaping.

    With buttered hands, shape the candy into 1-inch balls. Roll each in the sprinkles to cover and place each one in a paper or foil candy cup.

    There was no way I was going to roll my beautiful, glossy candy in chocolate sprinkles! For the more scientific cooks out there, the candy thermometer read 240 when I pulled it from the heat. It takes some patience but the constant stir resulted in the best milk candies I've ever made. Maybe some crushed nuts next time.
