    Candyland Queens's Notes: We have learned this recipe from our Brazilian friend Karina. It is called "Bem Casado," which means "Well Married" in English so very much in tune with Valentine's Day and related themes...

This recipe is great! Just one comment, this recipe is for brigadeiros, not bem casados.
There's this bakery in NYC that bakes both brigadeiros and bem casados. Check their blog to find the out the difference between them!!
