Brigadeiro – Brazilian White Chocolate Truffles

Today’s featured recipe comes from a friend of mine named Regina who used to blog at Molly Mell.  Regina has sent us this recipe for Brigadeiro – Brazilian White Chocolate Truffles.

Regina tells me that normally Brigadeiro is a brown chocolate covered with brown chocolate sprinkles, but since Valentine’s Day is coming, she decided to get creative and playful when she chose colors and shapes to fit the occasion.  

You could adapt her recipe to fit most holidays. Just think of the way you could decorate them for Easter, Halloween, or Christmas.

Since red, white and pink are all Valentine’s Day colors, the sprinkles on these treats will fit right in!

Today’s Featured Recipe is Brigadeiro – Brazilian White Chocolate Truffles.

What makes these sweets such a good choice, is that they have only four ingredients: chocolate, condensed milk, butter, and Valentine’s sprinkles.

If you are looking for a special Valentine’s Day sweet treat, you can’t go wrong with Brigadeiro – Brazilian White Chocolate Truffles.  Many thanks to Regina for submitting this recipe for us to enjoy!
