Brigadiero is what they call this Brazilian dessert. This is amazingly simple to make and oh my, delicious! No wonder these little treats are a favorite dessert served for every occasion in Brazil.
The chocolate treats reminded me of a perfectly cooked rich brownie. I loved them just plain but you can add in nuts, sugar sprinkles or coconut for additional flair.
