3 Ingredient Brigadeiro (Super Sweet Brazilian Candy Made with Nestle Quick and Sweetened Condensed Milk)  Recipe from kikamafra who I follow on Tumblr. It must be good because Kika is from Brazil so she should know :)

All you need:

• 1 tin sweetened condensed milk
• 2-3 Tablespoons Nestle Quick (or other “chocolate milk” powder - not cocoa)
• 2 Tablespoons butter

 You can find the full recipe here. 

“Brigadeiro is a Brazilian party food staple. It is made with sweetened condensed milk - Brazilians love the stuff and make a host of other delicious sweets by doing things like dipping grapes and strawberries in the sweet milk - and then coating the fruit with chocolate. *Sinful secret. Brazilians also like to eat Brigadeiro right out of the pot. Let it cool enough so you don’ t get scorched, pass around a few teaspoons and dig in!”

The bottom photo is an example of how you can package it as a gift. I personally like almost anything with sweetened condensed milk in it and this recipe is super easy. Thanks Kika!
