BRIGADEIROS

Ingredients

• 4 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 Can Sweet Condensed Milk
• 2 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder
• 1 to 2 teaspoons water
• Chocolate Sprinkles

Directions

1. Put 2 tablespoons of butter to melt in a saucepan on medium-low.
   
   
2. Once the butter is melted, add a whole can of condensed milk.
   
   
3. Put a teaspoon of water in a glass and slowly add the cocoa while mixing it with the water.
   
   
4. Add the mixture to the condensed milk in the pan.
   
   
5. With a wooden spoon, stir for 20 to 40 minutes on medium-low heat until it thickens.
   
   
6. You know it’s ready when you divide it in half with the spoon and it stays parted for a few seconds or when you scoop some up with the wooden spoon, turn it upside down and it holds before falling back into the pan.
   
   
7. Spread contents onto a plate and put in the fridge for about 30 minutes. You want it cooled and firm before you try to handle it.
   
   
8. Spread a little bit of butter in your hands and fingers, using a small spoon, scoop some Brigadeiro and roll it into a little ball.
   
   
9. Roll the ball in the sprinkles to cover it.
   
   
10. Place the Brigadeiro’s in baking cups and put in fridge for 30 minutes to solidify.
