Where to find ingredients
Look for cornstarch, all-purpose flour, sugar, unsalted margarine, walnuts, bittersweet chocolate, corn syrup, whole milk, and unsalted butter in the baking aisle, the flour section, and the dairy case at your local supermarket or neighborhood grocery. If needed, corn syrup can be used as a substitute for glucose de milho.

- Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat)
- Grease and flour a baking sheet
- Shape the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden
- While the cookies bake, prepare the filling: set the chopped bittersweet chocolate, corn syrup, milk, and butter over a double boiler
