Have you heard of or eaten brigadeiros? Until very recently I had no clue what they were. A local Brazilian restaurant near work had them on their menu and I was immediately intrigued.

If you asked me a year ago when I took on my first ever attempt at any sort of candy making if I would ever do it again, I probably would have said “Not likely.” It was a fun experience but it was also very challenging and a little frustrating. Flash forward a year later [...]
