Make your Own Brigadeiro

You have to love a recipe with only 3 ingredients!! My husband and I watch a show on desserts and learned how to make Brigadeiro from Brazil. They look so amazing and easy to make that we had to try it. We both enjoy cooking together and we thought cooking Brigadeiro with the kids would be fun!!

The three simple ingredients are... 

3 Table Spoons of cocoa, 

1 can (14 ounces) of sweet 

and condense milk and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Optional toppings: sprinkles, nuts or powder sugar.

That is it!!

Step 1: Place the ingredients in a medium pan, over low heat and stir constantly! Mix until when you stir you can see the bottom of the pan. 

Step 2: Put the mixer in a separate container to cool and rest. 

Step 3: Cover your hands in butter. Scoop and roll mixer into small balls, then be creative and roll ball into toppings. 

Enjoy!

Fabric Button Video Tutorial

Here is another fun Sew Spoiled tutorial on how to make your own fabric covered buttons. Then you can glue them on magnets. Magnetic fabric covered buttons make fantastic gifts for teachers. Most teachers have magnetic boards. I use some I have created at home on our refrigerator to hang beautiful art work from my two little ones.

I saw this great idea in a book, take a little box (you can find little tin lunch boxes at $5 Below) and fill it with thread, felt, fabric scraps, buttons, little scissors and pins. This would be for a 9+ year old gift. The book I found this idea in was Crafty Creatures  by Jane Bull. I would buy this book and gift it with the box of fabric and fun.
