Melt butter into mixture and add chocolate powder.  Stir consistently to mix in powder and avoid clumps\/burning.  Turn heat down if clumps begin to form.  Allow the mixture to cook and thicken until it reaches a soft-ball stage. This is the simple version of Brigadeiro!<\/p>\n<p>Then grab Maria maizena cookies and break them lightly by hand, pour in Brigadeiro, and stir\/cover like caramel popcorn.  When cookies are evenly covered, dump mixture into a cake pan and spread\/flatten out around pan.  Since it will be very sticky and thick, you won&#8217;t get an even covering of along the bottom of the pan, and that&#8217;s ok. <\/p>\n<p>Let mixture cool (or toss it in the freezer for a little while if you&#8217;re impatient like me), then begin breaking off irregular, cookie-sized pieces.  Roll each piece in sugar for a final touch and protection against sticking, then serve! <\/p>\n<p>These cookies are best served within a day or so of making, because if they sit too long, sometimes the sugar can crystallize the Brigadeiro, which is still tasty, but not as chewy and wonderful as I think it should be.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Emily Peterson, Groo Family Ambassador to Brazil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[22,24,27,29],"class_list":["post-971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dessert","tag-brazilian","tag-candy","tag-chocolate","tag-cookies"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/971\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
