Brigadeiro

By ghudsontx

A traditional candy from Brazil that is typically served at parties. It tastes like chocolate-caramel and is very easy to make!

Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 tablespoons cocoa
• chocolate sprinkles

Preparation

Step 1

1 Over medium-low heat, stir vigorously the three ingredients. 2 Cook the mixture until it thickens enough to show the pan bottom during stirring (it will be firm enough to stay together and not spread) Pour into a greased dish and let cool to room temperature (or chill a few minutes in the fridge) Grease your hands with butter and take small amounts of candy and form into 1 1/2 inch balls. 3 Roll the balls in chocolate jimmies to decorate. 4 If the balls don't hold their shape, cook an additional 5 minutes until it thickens up more.
