Brazilian Brigadeiro Recipe

Brigadeiro is a typical sweet of Brazilian cuisine that quickly spread throughout Brazil, becoming common throughout the country for its presence at birthday parties, along with sweets such as cajuzinho and beijinho. 

It is also known by the name of negrinho in Rio Grande do Sul.

This delicious dessert is considered to have originated in Rio de Janeiro, in honor to Brigadier Eduardo Gomes’ electoral campaign for the presidency in 1945, but some scholars say that the candy originated in southern Brazil.
