Chocolate Bonbons (Brigadeiros) - Brazil image

This from "Cuisines of Portuguese Encounters", in which the author gives recipes she had during travelling thru Portugal and its former colonies. This is a Brazilian recipe, named for a famous Brazilian Air Force Commander in the 1940's. He was a chocoholic. Often served at birthday parties and other festivities. I haven't made it yet.

These brigadeiros were amazing! I've never had anything like them before. The chocolate was so rich and creamy, and the sprinkles added a nice touch of sweetness.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my brigadeiros didn't turn out at all. They were too hard and crumbly.

I made these brigadeiros for my Brazilian friend and she said they were the best she'd ever had. I'm so glad I found this recipe!

These brigadeiros were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still very good.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed these brigadeiros. They were light and fluffy, and the chocolate flavor wasn't too overpowering.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my brigadeiros turned out too runny. I think I might have needed to cook them for a little longer.
