Brigadeiro is a simple Brazilian chocolate fudge candy created in the 1920s. It is named after Brazilian airman Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes. It's commonly served with soda, coffee or milk.
Ingredients

- 1 can of condensed milk (395g)
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 1 packet of chocolate sprinkles
- 1 tablespoon of butter
Procedure
- In a heavy saucepan, mix the milk, cocoa and butter. Stir to dissolve the chocolate.
- Put over low heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Continue stirring until you are able to see the bottom of the pot when you tilt the pan - the mixture should slide quickly. This should take 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer to a greased plate.
- Allow to cool.
- Butter your hands and roll the mixture into small balls (around 2cm in diameter) and roll them over the chocolate sprinkles.
