Misconception

To clear up a misconception: Nescau is NOT a chocolate powder for cooking, it's a powder for chocolate-milk drink and in fact has been available in other flavours than chocolate. It's closer to Nesquik, in fact (although not exactly the same; Nestlé also sells Nesquik in Brazil). It's also far more recent than the real Nestlé chocolate powder, which is popularly known in Brazil as "Dois Padres" ("Two Priests") for the box illustration, which portrays two friars cooking with chocolate. So, no, brigadeiro was not created with Nescau, it was created with Dois Padres, and Nescau is not suitable at all for a good brigadeiro. MCBastos 16:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC) Indeed, Nescau contains both powdered chocolate and sugar, what might ruin the recipie and make it too sweet. And it didn't exist back on the time the candy was originally created.[reply]

Apart from sugar ("Dois Padres" has sugar too, although less than Nescau), the difference is also that Nescau has powdered milk. In my opinion, the best option would be real cocoa powder (no sugar at all). Miguel Vieira 01:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Condensed milk is not always sweetened

In some countries, such as Germany, condensed milk is not as sweetened as in Brazil. Perhaps this should be made clear in the article. --Domusaurea (talk) 23:44, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that Brigadeiro is a Brazilian sweet, not wanna seem rude, but it was very needless. 177.105.90.10 (talk) 15:36, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pls, don't take it personally. 177.105.90.10 (talk) 15:37, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense reverted

Reverted some nonsense added to the end of the second paragraph. New editor, not sure I did this right. Thristhart (talk) 21:10, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
