It’s time for Eat the World and we’re headed to Brazil!
So many great recipes come out of Brazil, but I was immediately drawn to Brigadeiro. Brigadeiro was delightful little fudge balls that often show up at celebrations, especially birthday parties! These are similar to, but distinctly different from truffles and bonbons.
The upside is that they are super simple - with only 4 ingredients! They do require a bit of attention to make (a lot of stirring and knowing just when they are thick enough), but they are well worth the effort.

Place the butter, sweetened condensed milk, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Slowly sift the cocoa powder into the mixture, stirring to combine after each addition.
