IN DETAIL: The story of brigadeiro, a national unanimity, is a classic one. It was symbol of air marshal Eduardo Gomes political campaign, in the 1940s. A must-have in all birthday parties, or even served in adult celebrations, brigadeiro admits many variations through time: they are ubiquitous at brigaderias, candy shops that vary its flavour with special ingredients such as walnuts, pistachios, coconut and orange, among others. It can also be eaten directly from little cups, with spoons.
