tinyB's Halloween Chocolate-Making Experience
A fun-filled way to celebrate the season of scare!
Watch instructional videos, access ingredient information and more.
Meet Brazil’s most loved dessert: the brigadeiro. It’s a cousin of the chocolate truffle but even more luscious and decadent, it’s every chocolate lover’s dream.
I learned how to make them from my mother, a chocolatier in Brazil, and I’m so excited to share them with you.
I started tinyB in San Francisco to bring people together through the magic of hand-crafted brigadeiros. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Preparation
- Pour each topping onto separate plates
- Separate the paper cups
- Open the jars of brigadeiro (except the Brigadeiro Spread) and reserve a spoon for each
- Have a paper towel or wipe available
- Prepare a small bowl of water or a bit of butter for your hands
- On a clear table, place in order: water, 3 jars of brigadeiro, plates with toppings and paper cups
Let's Do It!
Wet or lightly butter your hands. Scoop chocolate from a jar of your choice and roll it in your hand until round. Roll quickly or it will start to melt. Choose a topping and roll your brigadeiro in the plate until evenly covered. Place it in a cup. That’s it—taste, repeat, and enjoy! Some classic flavors for inspiration: milk chocolate and sprinkles, dark chocolate with nuts, dark chocolate with coconut.
Pro Tips
A standard brigadeiro is 1 1/4″ across, but start with a smaller size as a sampler.
For the best flavor experience, cleanse your palate between sampling brigadeiros. Sparkling water, a slice of apple, or water with lemon work well.
The Brigadeiro Spread is too soft to roll. Pop in the microwave for 10 seconds and spread it on fruit, toast, ice cream, etc.
It’s easier to blend flavors if you use one topping at a time.
Activities
