Dear Members,
I’m working on a Halloween class for my Portuguese students and when I teach them how to say typical Halloween vocabulary and sentences in Portuguese, I tell them that Halloween is not a holiday celebrated in Brazil. English Schools usually celebrate it to bring the culture to their classroom environment, but we don’t have a tradition of celebrating it.
I can’t imagine how parents would feel to let children knock on doors asking for candy…..I don’t think it would be a culturally accepted party due to the reality in the majority of Brazilian Cities, where people are really careful about their children and their safety.
Leaving that aspect behind, I looked for some famous Brazilian Candy recipes which I will be sharing here on our blog:
This featured recipe is : Bom Bom de Uva

Minha mae sempre fazia este doce nos nossos aniversa¡rios….( my mother always made this candy on our birthdays…)
Bombom de Uva

1 lata de leite condensado (395 g) (1 can of condensed milk)
1 gema (1 egg yolk)
1 cacho de uvas brancas sem caroco (tipo moscatel) ( 1 bunch of green seedless grapes)
300 g de chocolate cobertura ao leite (optional Chocolate for coating)
asucar refinado (refined sugar)
MODO DE PREPARO:
Leve ao fogo o leite condensado com a gema peneirada, mexendo at desgrudar do fundo da panela. ( Cook the condensed milk with the yolk until it is not sticking to the pot anymore)
Retire, deixe esfriar em um prato por no manimo 6 horas (para que a massa descanse). ( Let it cool for at least 6 hours)
Modele a massa nas macos, formando capinhas para as uvas.( Open little pieces in round shapes, put the grape inside and close it)
Enrole uma a uma e passe levemente no ascar e pela cobertura de chocolate, dissolvida em banho-maria. ( coat with sugar and lightly on the melted chocolate)
I can guarantee it’s really good!

Bom Apetite!
