Aah Brigadeiros, you get me every time sigh I first discovered these chewy chocolatey treats when I was in college. The international house often had these themed dinners and these made what for me was an unforgettable experience at the Brazilian one. I pestered the Brazilian girls for the recipe, but they suggested that it wasn’t something that could be easily done with American ingredients. Let’s just say I am thrilled to bits that they were wrong (or just messing with me). Having made them once or ten times I have made probably all the mistakes you can make and here is what I have learnt. They are best consumed that day or a day after. If you really wrap them tightly then two days at most, but room temperature is the only way to go. If they are undercooked and not rolling well run to the party store grab those tasting spoons that resemble the ones you have soup with at a Chinese restaurant. Put a dollop in each spoon, top with sprinkles and call it a day.
Canadian peeps since we have smaller cans of condensed milk than those outside Canada the ‘regular’ batch of this recipe calls for 1.5 of our cans. I have included alternate measurements in the notes section for a recipe that calls for one can of (Canadian) condensed milk.
