In Brazil there is a very popular candy called “brigadeiro” that you can find in almost every birthday party, especially at children ones. The “brigadeiro” can be found in slightly different shapes and forms, but the recipe is pretty much the same: condensed milk, chocolate milk powder and some butter. Put these all together to make the candy and cover it with chocolate sprinkles. Yup, it’s very, very sweet. Sweet enough to make you thirsty on the first bite, and to make you feel like your throat is in flames. It’s not uncommon that people dislike the poor candy. But I like it. A lot, actually! I think it goes pretty well with drinks like plain black coffee. It creates a nice balance between the sweetness and the bitterness.
