“Brigadeiro” candies were the first Brazil dessert cooked in 1940, when the assortment of candies and other delicious treats was extremely poor. They are named after the first BBC commander, Eduardo Gomes. The shape of these candies resembles that of truffles, although, their ingredients somewhat differ. The candies are easy and fast to cook, while their taste is so remarkable that your loved ones will ask you to cook the sweets over and over again!
