Brigadeiro


Brigadeiros and Beijinhos



Camafeu, Olho de Sogra and White Brigadeiro covered grapes!

Brigadeiro is a simple Brazilian chocolate bonbon, created in the 1940s and named after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, whose shape is reminiscent of that of some varieties of chocolate truffles. It is a very popular candy in Brazil and it is usually served at birthday parties, but can also be found at any kind of party.
It can also be consumed unrolled, with a spoon or used as a topping or filling for cakes, and brownies.

Variations can be Beijinho (coconut), Olhos de sogra (coconut and prunes), cajuzinho (peanut), and more.
