Brigadeiro!
This candy is named after a renowned Brazilian politician of the 1920's, Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes. He was an Air Force brigadier general who first gained notoriety for playing a part in quashing a communist coup in Rio.
The name of the candy is that of his rank, Brigadeiro. Now, why would anyone name candy after an army general?
Well, back in 1922, he was tall, dark-haired with blue eyes, and single!!!
Then, this candy was created by some ladies from Rio de Janeiro.
INGREDIENTS:
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon margarine
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
