Guarana soda is available in the soft drinks section or imported goods aisle.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable shortening, sugar, and guarana soda.

- Cover the dough and let it rest for approximately 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness.
- Cut the dough into small squares.
- Place a small strip of guava paste in the center of each square.
- Close the abracadinhos by bringing the corners of the dough together to form a small parcel, ensuring the filling is well enclosed.
- Arrange the parcels on a baking sheet, spacing them out.
- Bake in a preheated oven until they are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
