Brigadeiro mania!

I saw this sweet on TV the other day and just thought I MUST share it with you guys! I haven’t made it myself but am very keen to give it a shot! A Brigadeiro is a simple but exquisite Brazilian chocolate bonbon. The sweet is almost like a very sticky version of a chocolate truffle. It’s traditionally served at parties. Knowing us South Africans we won’t think twice to ravage it in a second, so don’t try and wait for the right occasion to make it or eat it! Just do it! J

This treat is amazing and decedent and so simple and cheap to make!  

Ingredients:

1 can of sweetened condensed milk

1 tablespoon butter

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

1.       In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cocoa, butter and condensed milk. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest until cool enough to handle. Form into small balls and eat at once or chill until serving. The little balls can be covered in granulated chocolate, sprinkles, lemon rind, cinnamon, finely chopped nuts and almost anything imaginable.
