As a brazilian, i really can tell that your recipe is very accurate!

tip: do not use butter to make the ball, pass some cold water on your hand, with butter the confectionery does not stick and it tastes like butter.

You can roll them in cocoa powder, chopped almonds, colored sprinkles, chopped peanuts. Great recipe. Thanks!

If it's not thickening for you, you need to bring it to a boil first while stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. It will definitely take more than 6-8 minutes if you're cooking it on low heat.

I just tried this confection in my recent trip to Brazil. This thing is sooo good it should be illegal! That's all I have to say.

This recipe is Super Right! With COCOA POWDER and NOT "Chocolate Powder or Chocolate Milk Powder" Because chocolate powder and Chocolate Milk Powder have VERY Sugar. I have lived in Brazil for 33 years, city São Paulo :)
