What it is
Brazil's birthday-party rocket: a glossy fudge ball of condensed milk, cocoa and butter, rolled in chocolate sprinkles and gone in one bite. Ingredients: condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, chocolate sprinkles (granulado), a pinch of salt. Recipe: 1) Simmer condensed milk, cocoa and butter, stirring constantly, until the mixture pulls from the pan and holds a trail (about 10 minutes). 2) Cool on a buttered plate. 3) Grease your palms; roll into balls. 4) Coat in sprinkles; set in tiny paper cups. Serve: at parties, by the dozen. Flavor: deep chocolate fudge, milk-sweet, dangerously poppable. History: created in 1940s Rio and named for Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, a presidential candidate whose supporters sold the sweets to fund his campaign — the brigadeiro outlasted the politics.
