Making Brigaderos

Brigaderos are the most popular candy in Brazil. They are made with sweetened-condensed milk, cocoa powder and chocolate sprinkles. As you can imagine, they are INSANELY sweet, but children love them, and so people always make them for parties. Before Luis's fifth birthday party, I helped make them... Here is how it goes.

Step One: Preparation! Get all the tiny cups ready.


Step Two: Rub butter all over your hands and make the chocolate mixture into balls.



Step Three: Drop the balls into a pool of chocolate sprinkles and roll away.



Here are Clarissa and Maria Eunice making the brigaderos.



Claudia is making the mixture for brancinos -- the white version of the candy made with coconut instead of chocolate!
