These Brazilian treats get the holiday treatment for a festive party or joyful gift-giving.
Brigadeiros are a traditional Brazilian bite-size dessert made with sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder.
The fun part is picking your favorite toppings.
Cook over medium, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and nearly solid, about 10 minutes.
Pour mixture into a loaf pan or mixing bowl coated with cooking spray.
Refrigerate until very firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
Spread desired toppings in even layers on separate plates.
Immediately roll each ball in toppings.
Refrigerate brigadeiros, covered, for up to 3 days.
Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
