Brigadeiros are delicious! I love to have picnics and I always ask people to bring something that represents their culture, as we are a very international group. My Brazilian friend brings these beauties and they are always a hit!

They do look delicious! I was thinking of making these too, but we've had a string of 100F degree days, and I know better than to work with chocolate in a hot kitchen. Sooo tempting though... guess I better bookmark this for Autumn. (Just can't resist lol)

I tried making these with this exact recipe. It didn't work and the mix is way too thin to make balls out of.
Disappointed.

What is the importance of stirring with a wooden spoon? I don't have wooden spoons, only plastic. Thx
