Brigadeiro is a traditional dessert of which country?

The brigadeiro is a traditional Brazilian dessert. It is made of condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, and chocolate sprinkles covering the outside layer. It is also known in Rio Grande do Sul by name negrinho.

The brigadeiro makes up a big part of the Brazilian culture and is considered a national icon. Generally made in Brazilian homes, it can be eaten with a spoon straight from the pot, which is why it can sometimes be called "brigadeiro de colher" (spoon brigadeiro). It is generally shaped into small balls covered in chocolate sprinkles and placed in a small cupcake mold. This dessert is normally served to children at birthday parties and is eaten after the birthday cake. The brigadeiro may also be served in different reunions, especially when friends get together. It has a sentimental value to most Brazilians.
