* 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
* 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
* 1 cup milk chocolate chips
* 1/4 cup cocoa powder
* 1/3 cup powdered sugar
* 3 tablespoons cocoa powder

Place sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated!), semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and 1/4 cup cocoa powder in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium (50% power) for 2 minutes, then remove and stir. Return to microwave oven for 1 minute intervals at medium, stirring until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.

Cover and chill for 3-4 hours until firm.

Combine 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons cocoa powder in a sieve; sift onto a shallow plate; discard any lumps remaining in the sieve.

Scoop up a tablespoon of the chilled chocolate mixture and roll into a ball. Roll in powdered sugar mixture; place on a parchment paper lined tray or in mini paper candy cups. Chill again, about 2 hours, until firm. Store covered at room temperature.
