Today’s featured recipe comes from Regina who blogs at Molly Mell.  Regina has sent us this recipe for Brigadeiro – Brazilian White Chocolate Truffles.

Today’s Featured Recipe is 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 choose colors and shapes to fit the occasion.   (see the chocolate version of her recipe here.)

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

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 from Molly Mel for submitting this recipe for us to enjoy!  Be sure to visit her website for many other interesting Brazilian recipes.
