Silky, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth Chocolate Truffles!
I am just going to put this out there. These are the best things I have eaten in a very long time.

- a luscious, soft ganache center
- a dusting of cocoa powder or maybe some crushed nuts if you are feeling wild
It is my perfect food combination. It is rich and decadent and just begging to be eaten alongside a hot cup of coffee.

Say hello to the Brigadeiro. This is a traditional Brazilian dessert that features sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter. It is basically a dream come true for anyone with a major sweet tooth.

Those sprinkles add a lovely little crunch and help the bonbons hold their shape beautifully.

You can just help them out with melting the chocolate melts in the microwave and they will be all set to go.
