Rio Carnaval is a good reason to come to Brazil.

However, your trip to South America just isn't complete unless you try traditional Brazilian

foods at least once.

Let's start with Brigadiero.

Brigadiero is balls of truffles made with milk and covered in chocolate sprinkles.

The traditional Brigadiero is milk chocolate, yet there are also white chocolate versions

available too.

They can get even more delicious when made with a whole strawberry in the middle.

Another food you should definitely taste is Kanhika.

Kanhika is a bowl of whole pieces of white corn mixed with milk, a splash of coconut milk

and sprinkles of cinnamon on top.

You should also try pao de cajo.

This is so much more than just cheese bread.

Made with cassava flour, these little gluten -free puffs are crispy on the outside, soft on the

inside and filled with cheesy flavor.

They can be sold in packets with mini cheese balls inside, or as great balls in the size

of large oranges.

Another popular food is empada.

Empadas are mini pies that are sold in nearly all snack bars and restaurants throughout Brazil.

They are perfect as an on -the -go snack.

The most typical fillings are dried meat, chicken with cream cheese, prawns with cream cheese,

bahigno decoco is a popular treat at Brazilian birthday parties.

The name literally translates to little kiss of coconut, which fits perfectly with this

mouth -sized dessert.

It's made with milk and butter mixed together before being rolled up into little balls and

covered in coconut pieces.

The top is often decorated with a clove.

Lastly, kindi must be tasted in Brazil.

It is a yellow sweet treat made with eggs, sugar, and coconut.

Baked in cupcake -sized molds, the bottom is golden and dense, while the top is smooth

and sticks to the roof of your mouth.
