I was thinking about one of my younger sisters.

I’ve got three words for you…

easy.  decadent.  gorgeous.

What more could you possibly want in life?  I mean seriously.

What was I saying?  Oh, yes.  I’ve been thinking about my sis…and the gorgeous little balls of chocolatey deliciousness she brought to our older sister’s baby shower a while back.

{What were you thinking?  While this girl is definitely gorgeous and unmistakably decadent, easy she is not}

Back to the chocolate.  It’s pure decadence, Brazilian style!

Eat your heart out, friends!  And then you may want to let your pants out a bit too. 

Or at least loosen your belt a little.

Who knew 3 little ingredients, smooshed into adorable little bite-size chunks, could minister so deeply to my soul {and wreak such havok on my waistline}?

I present to you…Brigadeiro.  The Brazilian bonbon, extraordinaire.
