Far along Dundas Street West, past the quaintness of Little Portugal and beyond the gentrification creeping out from West Queen West, there appears to be a dearth of good eating. The darkened windows of small store fronts and family homes line the streetscape but making the trek all the way to Dufferin will reward you with the enticing glassy facade of the Brazil Bakery and Pastry Limited.

Brigadeiros?? hmm...sounds interesting... que es eso?

Brigadeiro is a simple Brazillian chocolate fudge candy created in the 1920s. It is named after Brazilian airman Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes.
For further information see Wikipedia's entry on Brigadeiro.

Ingredients

• 1 can of condensed milk (395g)
• 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 1 packet of chocolate sprinkles
• 1 tablespoon of butter

Procedure

1. In a heavy saucepan, mix the milk, cocoa and butter. Stir to dissolve the chocolate.
2. Put over low heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
3. 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.
4. Transfer to a greased plate.
5. Allow to cool.
6. Butter your hands and roll the mixture into small balls (around 2cm in diameter) and roll them over the chocolate sprinkles.

Variations

You can substitute the cocoa powder for 100g of baking chocolate. If you want a lighter candy use powdered chocolate (such as Nestlé Quick™). You can also put raisins or nuts in the center of the candy. You can decorate with powdered sugar instead, or cocoa powder.

Has anyone tried chocolate facial or chocolate bath!?!?
