Brigadeiro is a simple chocolate bonbon which is a very popular candy in Brazil, it is usually served at birthday parties, kids party and can also be found at any kind of party. This candy is made by mixing sweetened condensed milk, butter and cocoa powder together. The mixture is then heated in a pan on the stove or in a microwave oven to obtain a smooth, sticky texture. It usually rolled into balls which are covered in granulated chocolate. It can also be consumed unrolled, with a spoon or used as a topping or filling for cakes, brownies and other pastries.
Recipe Tips:
1- You have to let the chocolate mix cool very well at room temperature, because if it's warm it will be too mushy and sticky to shape in balls.
2- If you don't like much sugar in desserts you can use unsweetened cocoa powder.

I would love to like that bowl! It's nice that you can make these in the microwave too.
Sure you can use microwave instead of the stove.
