Where to find ingredients
Look for cocoa powder and chocolate sprinkles in the baking aisle of your local supermarket. For authentic Brazilian-style brigadeiro, consider visiting stores that specialize in Latin American or Brazilian products. These shops often carry imported cocoa powders and festive chocolate confetti. If unavailable, standard cocoa powder and regular chocolate sprinkles can be used as substitutes. Fresh butter and sweetened condensed milk are widely available in most grocery stores, or in Latin grocery sections. For a more authentic touch, seek out local bakeries or specialty stores that stock imported confectionery items. Online grocery platforms with a dedicated Latin or international section can also be helpful for sourcing these ingredients.
