Where to find ingredients
Look for cocoa powder labeled as 'cocoa powder' or 'unsweetened cocoa' in the baking aisle of large supermarkets. For chocolate sprinkles, check the baking or confectionery section, or visit specialty stores that carry Brazilian or Latin American products. If unavailable locally, online stores or international grocery sections often stock these items. Fresh butter and sweetened condensed milk are widely available in most supermarkets, often in the baking or dairy aisles. For a more authentic touch, seek out local brands or organic options. In some markets, you might find these ingredients at Latin or Brazilian grocery stores, or in the international foods section of larger supermarkets.
