Belgian Chocolate Brigadeiro

Brigadeiros have a special place in every Brazilian’s heart. They are a must-have at special celebrations, from kids’ parties to weddings, but they are also part of everyday life, enjoyed as a treat at a brigadeiria or coffee shop to soothe a sweet tooth or as a pick-me-up in the middle of a difficult day.

While the classic recipe is made with cocoa powder, this version, which is sometimes called brigadeiro gourmet, uses high-quality Belgian chocolate instead.
