Brigadeiros

What is it?

Nine frozen pieces come in a 4.94-ounce box, each one a small round confection made from sweetened condensed milk, cocoa, and butter, then coated in chocolate sprinkles. The texture lands somewhere between fudge and a soft truffle, with a dense center and a dry, lightly crunchy outside. Trader Joe’s sources these from Portugal, where brigadeiros are also common. Compared with other sweets in the brand’s dessert lineup, these are one of the more straightforward confectionery items, with no crust, filling, or separate sauce to prep. Just thaw and serve.
