Diva Dishes From Brazil!...Brigadeiro



I decided to make some Brazilian truffles also known as Brigadeiro. Making this confection was fun, easy, and delicious. If you have kids this is a great quick treat to make as a family. You can also make these as a gift, snack, or candy dish fillers. 


Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons of cocao
  • 1 can of 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • chocolate sprinkles( or any garnish)
and that's it...3 simple components
yields: 20 pieces

Directions:
  • In a medium sauce pan on medium heat mixed together the cocao, condensed milk, and butter, stir continuously for 10 mins or until it starts to thicken
  • remove from heat and let rest until cool enough to handle  ( i placed it in the freezer for 10 mins to speed up the cooling process)
  • once mixture is cooled form into small balls, then roll in chocolate sprinkles( its fun to substitute sprinkles for coconut, nuts, cinnamon sugar, or mini chocolate chips)
 

Place truffles in mini cupcake cups, then in small plastic bags and add a fun tie. And there you have it a delicious, simply treat!
