BRIGADEIRO (BRAZILIAN DOCINHO)

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan mix chocolate with condensed milk and add the margarine. Cook in low heat stirring constantly until you can see the bottom of the pan. Continue to stir for another two minutes. Pour onto a plate and let cool completely before you form the little balls (I usually leave it in the cupboard until next day). Butter your hands slightly to form the little balls. Roll the balls in chocolate powder or jimmies and put them in small paper cups.
- A little cultural note: Have you noticed how many Brazilian recipes are made with condensed milk? It came to Brazil from Switzerland over a hundred years ago. It's made by Nestlé and because the label featured the picture of a milkmaid, the cans became known as the "maid milk' and that's what condensed milk is called to this day (Leite Moça).

Steps:
- Combine condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter in a pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, and cook until mixture begins to pull away from the sides and bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and stir in cream. Beat well with a whisk until smooth. Add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the filling is too firm.
- Place milk chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is about 80% melted, about 5 minutes.
- Pour chocolate onto a clean, smooth surface, ideally marble or granite, and use a knife or spatula to spread and temper. Test the temperature of the chocolate by bringing a chocolate-dipped toothpick to your lips; the chocolate must feel cold on the lips. Continue cooling and testing if it's too hot. Transfer tempered chocolate to a bowl.
- Spread 1 layer of chocolate evenly in the Easter egg mold halves and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and add another layer of chocolate to each egg half. Fill chocolate eggs with brigadeiro filling almost up to the edges. Seal filling with another layer of melted chocolate, making sure the filling is completely covered with chocolate and nothing can leak out. Chill until firm and set, about 20 minutes.
- Unmold chocolate eggs one at a time by placing them upside down on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on the outside and cover with chocolate sprinkles.

BRAZILIAN BRIGADEIRO
This candy is named after a renowned Brazilian politician of the 1920's, Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes. He was an Air Force brigadier general who first gained notoriety for playing a part in quashing a communist coup in Rio. He later ran unsuccessfully for the presidency in 1946 and 1950, during a brief breeze of democracy which blew after WWII in Brazil. The name of the candy is that of his rank, Brigadeiro. Now, why would anyone name candy after an army general? Well, back in 1922, he was tall, dark-haired with blue eyes. AND SINGLE!!! The Brigadeiro campaign slogan was "Vote no Brigadeiro que é bonito e é solteiro". Or the other version "Brigadeiro Brigadeiro, e melhor porque e solteiro". Today, brigadeiro candy is a must have in any birthday party and kids love them.

Steps:
- PREPARE:.
- Cook 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.
- The cheapest , low grade sweetened condensed milk is the best to make the brigadeiro because they have more starch on them, which helps the candy to hold the shape.
- In US, buy the sweet condensed milk from the Walmart brand "Great Value", cook this brand for 20 minutes in medium heat stirring continuously and your brigadeiro is with the right consistency.

Steps:
- Put all your ingredients except for the toppings into a pot, or microwave safe bowl.
- Turn the stove on medium/high heat and stir very often until everything comes together and is very thick. When you stir the bottom the line you make should stay visible. The mixture is very forgiving as long as u watch it. (if you're using the microwave step 3 is your step 2 then continue from there)
- Stir everything, set timer for 1 minute it will bubble up stir it, put back for another minute, stir, another minute, stir, it should be thick enough but probably not. you can always take a bit out with a spoon put it in the freezer for about 5 mins if it seems thick enough to handle take the rest out, and put it in the fridge to cool.
- Once cooled you can roll into balls and decorate, eat as is, or use as a cake filling. The possibilities are endless!
BRAZILIAN BRIGADEIRO...FOR CHOCOHOLICS
This recipe is super simple. My daughther (12 year old) now makes it and can be used for a multitude of things--cake fillings or toppings or if you need a chocolate fix. Cook up a batch and dig in. The hardest part? Waiting for it to cool down! Your imagination is the only limit to its uses.

Steps:
- Empty condensed milk into pan; stir in chocolate powder and cook on stove, stirring constantly.
- Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool (it thickens slightly on cooling) use as required.
- Tip -- The longer you leave it to boil, the thicker it gets. Therefore, using it as icing inside a cake it would need to be a littler thicker than normal. Using it just to eat as a chocolate fix (which most Brazilians do) won't need as much time boiling. This recipe will spice up any old boring cake.
- You can also prepare this in the microwave. Place all ingredients into microwave safe bowl and heat, stirring at intervals until you get the desired thickness. Be careful, this tends to rise up the sides of the bowl. To avoid spillage use a large bowl.

These are very simple, and you can make two flavours - coconut and chocolate. It's a bit like Brazilian fudge for those of you who haven't tried this. I like to roll the chocolate flavour in Oreo crumbs for a delicious treat.
