Oh My Gosh Brigadeiros was started by "two brothers willing to start from scratch, with the idea of bringing and making Brigadeiro well known in the US." Luciano and Pedro Brilho were determined to bring their love of Brazilian brigadeiros to their adopted country of the United States. Opened in May of 2015, they were the first chocolate Brigadeiro shop in Florida.
What are brigadeiros you might wonder? For the uninitiated they are a Brazilian bonbon, created in the 1940s and named after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes (apparently a good looking single fellow with an legion of admiring female fans). You usually find brigadeiros at birthday parties in Brazil. Although they are typically chocolate, you can find them in a variety of flavors here. Ingredients include sweet condensed milk, flavoring (cocoa powder) and butter. The candy is hand rolled and can be stored at room temperature for up to three days.
The brigadeiros here are tiny and depending on how many you buy, run around $2 apiece. Brigadeiro offers 15 flavors including churro, Nutella, dulce de leche, Romeo and Juliet (guava), pistachio, rainbow, white chocolate, and their top seller Oh My Gosh which received it's name from what customers said the first time they tried it. "OH MY GOSH" They also sell cakes by the slice and in jars. They even have coffee cups covered in candy for the most amazing looking cappuccinos. Their Nutella cappuccino reached 16 million views on the internet and became viral in Miami.
I had previously visited their store in the MiMo district. This Oh My Gosh is located on the first floor of Julia and Henry food hall in downtown Miami. I bought a sprinkle and original OMG to go for $5. They are packaged beautifully like jewels in a tiny box. The creamy brigadeiro's are very addicting and they make the perfect little sweet pick me up.
