In Brazil ? ?Valentine?s Day?- Dia dos Namorados -?actually occurs on June 12. February 14 is too close to Carnaval ? which dominates the festivities for a month in Brazil ? so putting the holiday in June makes a lot of sense.?Dia dos Namorados is celebrated in similar way by showering your sweetheart with chocolates, cards, flowers and the like. This year we made brigadeiros?to celebrate, however there are a wealth of other Brazilian treats appropriate for the day, some even with romantic names: beijinhos (little kisses), casadinhos (little marrieds) and?bem casados (well-marrieds).
Beijinhos are little coconut candies, ?kissed? with cloves, hence the name. They are almost like a coconut version of brigadeiros, and are nearly as popular in Brazil. The recipe for making them is almost identical to a brigadeiro recipe (minus the chocolate), whether covered in sugar or coconut flakes. Casadinhos are black and white brigadeiros (?marrying? the two flavors) ? unfortunately I can?t find a recipe for these in English, but here is one in Portuguese. Bem casados are sandwich cookies with a doce de leite filling, which are understandably popular at weddings on the dessert table or as favors. Here is a recipe from Kitchen Corners that even includes homemade doce de leite, and another from the Cookie Shop blog with frosting. Feliz?Dia dos Namorados!
