Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a small saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue stirring for about 8 minutes, until the mixture thickens, being careful not to let it stick to the bottom. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
- Lightly grease your hands with butter. Using a tablespoon or small scoop, scoop out a small amount of the truffle mixture and roll it into a small ball with your hands, just big enough to put in your mouth. Roll the truffle in one of the crumbles and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining chocolate mixture. Store the truffles in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
