Presente perfeito...

Se você quiser um doce típico do Brasil para presentear um turista estrangeiro, o primeiro nome que vem à cabeça deve ser o brigadeiro.

Segue abaixo uma explicação para aqueles que não conhecem a nossa maior e mais original gostosura:

Brigadeiro - Brazilian style fudge

Brazilian chocolate fudge candy. It can be eaten simply with a spoon or rolled in chocolate sprinkles.

Brigadeiro (Portuguese for Brigadier; also known in some southern Brazilian states as negrinho, literally "blackie") 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 popular candy in Brazil and it is usually served at birthday parties, but can also be found at any kind of party.

The candy is made by mixing sweetened condensed milk, butter and cocoa powder together. The mixture is then heated in a pan on the stove or in a microwave oven to obtain a smooth, sticky texture. It usually rolled into balls which are covered in granulated chocolate; that is the way brigadeiros are served at children's birthday parties. It can also be consumed unrolled, with a spoon or used as a topping or filling for cakes, brownies and other pastries.

Enjoy!!!
