Description:
Brigadeiro candy is a must have in any birthday party and kids love them. I admit, I love it too!!
Ingredients:
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon margarine
3 tablespoon cocoa powder
Directions:
Over medium-low heat, stir vigorously the sweetened condensed milk, margarine and cocoa powder.
Cook the mixture until it thickens enough to show the pan bottom during stirring.
Pour the mixture in a greased dish and let it cool to room temperature. Take small amounts of the mixture with a teaspoon and make 1 ½ inch balls.
Roll the balls over chocolate jimmies to decorate.
Hint: Grease your hands with margarine to make the balls easily.
If the balls don't hold the shape and flat down like coins, it means that you did not cook enough. Cook additional five minutes, take a small sample and dip it in a glass with cold water. If you cooked enough, this sample should hold the shape after cooling down in the water.
Serve: Place the balls in candy cups to serve.
