Chop the biscuits into medium pieces (each biscuit can be chopped into three). Simmer the condensed milk, margarine and chocolate powder, stirring constantly. When it begins to thicken, add the chopped biscuits and continue stirring until the jam comes loose from the bottom of the pan. Pour the cream into the greased dish and smooth the surface with a spatula. Wait to cool and refrigerate for six hours. Cut into squares and pass on the sugar. * If you do not have refined sugar, beat the crystal sugar in the blender.

HISTORY

It is a genuinely Brazilian sweet and its probable origin is in the south of the country, where the brigadier was born, sweet that just as the straw is made basically of condensed milk, butter and chocolate. The straw, unlike the brigadeiro, was influenced by Portuguese and Italian cuisine due to a historical issue, due to the Italian and Portuguese immigrants who came to the south of Brazil.
