🇧🇷 Brazil recipe

Brigadeiro

Created in the 1940s and named after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, these are Brazil's most iconic sweets. Rich chocolate truffles made from just condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter, cooked into a fudgy mass, rolled into balls, and coated in chocolate sprinkles. No Brazilian birthday party is complete without them.
