How to Make Brigadeiros

An article by lori    2 Comments

Brigadeiros are the most popular candy in Brasil.  They are made mostly for birthday parties and Christmas.  I also choose to have them every now and then for a nice pick me up.  They are, by far, my favorite chocolates.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons of Nestle Quick
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• I small package of chocolate Sprinkles

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan over medium-medium low heat, combine Nestle Quick, butter, and condensed milk. Stir the whole time while cooking.  Don’t stop. Cook until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. (It is ready when the mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom when the pan is tilted.)
2. Remove from heat and pour the mixture in a lightly greased dish. Cool to room temperature or put in the fridge for a little bit.
   
3. Grease your hands with margarine to roll the mixture into little balls (about 1.5 inches).
   
4. Roll the balls into chocolate sprinkles (or as J would call them, Rat Poop).
5. Put into mini cupcake paper.
   

It makes about 40 candies.  I challenge you to find a better tasting, easy to make, homemade chocolate.  Go make them, and then, come back here and let me know what you thought.  I will accept $1 donations for making your life a little better with this Tipster Tuesday.
