Made as directed except swapped a Starbucks Via package for the espresso. It was almost exactly the right amount. Flavor is good and rather sophisticated. I would like to try it without the coffee and the nuts (just use sprinkles) for a kid's version. Also, I used a half tablespoon measure rather than the full tablespoon. Size is just right since the candies are so rich. I think my chocaholic grandson will love them! I am testing the adult version with my book group tonight. Thanks!

We fell in love with brigadeiros during a trip to New York. I was so excited to make these for my family and the recipe worked beautifully. They are little balls of pure, delicious joy. I rolled them while the mixture was still a tad warm and it picked up the sprinkle/nut mixture easily. I had a bit of cinnamon sugar mixture left over from some cookies and rolled a few of the brigadeiros in it--yum! Don't be intimated--make these!

I let my cooled mixture sit for a little over 30 mins and noticed the balls had difficulty picking up the sprinkle mixture-- I fixed this by warming the balls up on a plate in the microwave.

At the very end of the Directions, there seems to be a step missing: from putting the candies on the rimmed sheet to storage. Are the candies supposed to cool in the refrigerator for a few minutes, and then put into a storage container? Thank you.

I follow the instructions just as they were written. Let it sit for 30 min. Still runny, almost like a Sunday fudge type. Decided to throw it in the freezer for 30 min, no change. Then another 30 min same. Total of 1 hour and half in the freezer. As soon as I took it out from the freezer and firmed up, it still would not hold the shape, once I try again. It was pretty bad. They look like round cookies but very very runny and thin, like fudge. Was hoping to serve for guest. But won’t be doing that😩. The flavor is super good but does not look like what the pictures indicates. I’ll give it another try.
