@lydmama: Bala Baiana! These are a traditional Brazilian sweet and on the inside it’s a sweet creamy coconut filling with a sweet caramelized crunchy shell. They’re such a delicious treat and a must try!! These are perfect to take to gatherings. Filling: 1 tbsp unsalted butter 1 can sweetened condensed milk 2/3c shredded coconut Combine in a skillet and stir until thickened. Allow it to cool in the fridge or on the counter until you can easily handle it. Shape into balls. The caramelized shell: 1c sugar 1/2c water 1tsp vinegar (or lemon juice) Melt in a sauce pan and bring to boil, simmer until it turns an auburn color. Dip the balls in immediately, allow excess to drip off and place on a plate or parchment paper. They will harden pretty quickly! Enjoy!! #balabaiana #braziliansweet #Recipe #sweets #homemadecandy
fun fact: the "filling" you made is basically a coconut brigadeiro (we call it beijinho = little kiss) which we also eat it without the sugar shell and we also use it as filling on birthday cakes in brasil (you can make it with chocolate powder, condensed milk and butter, powered milk etc)

This reminds me of a Filipino dessert. Made with rice flour. It has a mochi consistency. I can’t remember the name. Someone know the name?? Help? 😩
