BRAZILIAN CHOCOLATE BALLS
Chocolate, almonds, coffee and rum... what's not to like? The chocolate needs to be grated (it's not melted as in many other chocolate candy recipes), so keep it in the fridge for a while before you start working. Recipe was originally submitted to the Ruokala web site by Marita Skippari.

Steps:
- Grate chocolate and return 1/3 of it back to the fridge.
- Mix the remaining 2/3 of the grated chocolate with all other ingredients: ground almonds, coffee, powdered sugar and rum.
- If you're not using the rum and the mixture feels very stiff, add a bit of milk or cream to it instead so you can work with it.
- Roll the mixture into balls, then roll the balls in the remaining grated chocolate.
- Keep the chocolate balls refridgerated.
Tips:
- Be patient: Making brigadeiro takes time and patience. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a grainy or lumpy mixture.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the brigadeiro from sticking and burning.
- Stir constantly: Stirring the brigadeiro constantly will help to prevent it from sticking and burning, and will also help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Don't overcook the brigadeiro: Overcooked brigadeiro will be dry and crumbly. Cook it until it has reached a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Chill the brigadeiro before rolling it: This will help to make it easier to roll and shape the brigadeiro balls.
- Use a variety of toppings: Brigadeiro balls can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as chocolate sprinkles, chopped nuts, or grated chocolate.
Conclusion:
Brigadeiro is a delicious and easy-to-make Brazilian treat. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of brigadeiro balls that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving them at a party, packing them in a lunch box, or enjoying them as a sweet snack, brigadeiro balls are sure to be a hit.
