WHO WE ARE
Mary's Brigadeiro is a black woman led business with the mission of realizing Mary's dream of sharing moments of happiness, joy and fun through her chocolate creations through Canada's vast multicultural influence.

BRAZIL
OUR ROOTS
Growing up in Sao Paulo, Mary discovered her passion for chocolate and Brigadeiros in a small kitchen alongside her mother called 'Dona Branca', who taught Mary her family recipes, techniques and how much a love for great food contributes to the quality and experience of the final result.
In Brazil the Brigadeiro (BRE-GA-DE-RO) is synonymous of happiness as they are always enjoyed among friends and family as they share in moments of fun and much laughter bringing joy. They are also found at kids birthdays parties, but nowadays you can find Brigadeiros with sophisticate ingredients and at specialize chocolate boutiques around the country.
Traditions
Why Brigadeiro is so special?
Brigadeiro is a composition of Condensed Milk, a good quality of butter, pure Cocoa Powder and fine chocolate up to 50% cacao to a perfect balance of sweetness with different variations and flavours.
The process to make the Brigadeiro is cooking and mix all these ingredients in a specific time and temperature, after a few hours, the mix is completely cold and our team of Chocolate Heroes handroll each one by hand into fine sprinkles. The texture is the key for a perfect Brigadeiro as it reminds us a creamy truffle, but it's a little bit chewy like a caramel and intense as a fudge.
Nothing is similar with Brigadeiro and if you've never tried it, Brigadeiro will be a new experience in loving chocolate.
