3. HISTORY OF BRIGADEIRO
Brigadeiro was created by the wife of Brigadeiro
(Brigadier) Eduardo Gomes, who was a Presidential
candidate in Brazil in the 1940s. His wife would cook the
candies and serve them during their fundraising events.
The guests loved the treat and soon enough people
started asking:
• "Have
you tried the Brigadeiro's candy? Where is the
Bridagier's candy?"
And that is where the name Brigadeiro comes from.
