I am gonna make them tomorrow... but just wanted to know if I can use cooking chocolate instead of choco powder?

@smssr84 Using Melted chocolate can change the consistency of this dessert because of additional moisture from the melted chocolate. I prefer using a powder because you don't have to go through extra steps. Remember you always have to think about the moisture content,specially if you are trying to condense something. I hope that makes sense and that it also helped out, Thanx.

Thanks for the video.

Is there a reason why you do not use butter in your recipe ?

I have seen some recipes with butter and some without . What is the difference ?

I can´t wait to make some soon :-)

@YTfancol You don't need butter, so people use it because it changes the moisture content. Butter also adds shine to certain desserts like chocolate or sauces. Butter can also change the texture of what you are eating and make it more buttery. The condensed milk will give it that look. Also less ingredients are getting used, thats always good.Hopefully that was helpful.

I can't seem to make it into balls it keeps makeing itslef slide.. i tryed harding it into the freezer everything and still can't manage it and advice?!

@lizzie14367 You have to make sure you are letting it thicken in the heating process. Make sure you are careful not to burn it, but by watching the mix while you stir it you will be fine. Let it heat up to consistency, it will start to bubble and thicken as it comes away from the pot. If you don't let it do that it will not form into the shape you want it to become. Hope that helps!

Hmm. Didn't think so. I just made some last night, having watched your video. I didn't serve it with lemon like you did, but it was still delicious. How come you don't mix in butter with the condensed milk?
