@ Flora Dear, If you can send me some samples from those sweets , I will be able to help you. You know...images can be deceiving , the best solution is analyzing the topic as "deep" as we can.

They �re Brazilian (delicious) appetizers we serve in birthday parties and cocktails. There isn �t a name for them in English, as the first one, for example, was invented by a Brazilian housewife, and she even named it after her husband �s military position: "brigadeiro" (wouldn �t know that in English, too). It �s our most famous Brazilian party food, made with condensed milk and chocolate.
The second one even I couldn �t figure it out.
The third one is my favorite appetizer, they �re made of chicken, and are called "coxinhas" (little thighs), because they �re supposed to immitate the real chicken thighs in shape.
But I �m sorry Flora, I don �t believe there �s a name for these in English, you should call them by their names in Portuguese.
Best regards,
Bruna

The first looked like a chocolate cupcake or a muffin to me. I would guess that the closest English word to "brigadeiro" is "brigadier," which in the USA is a one-star general. They look like
Again, I have no idea about the second picture. The closest in English for the third one would probably be boneless chicken wings. For some reason, chicken wings are an extremely popular snack and bar food in the USA. Obviously that isn �t a direct translation. |

Hi,
I �d say number 1 is a type of "truffle" ... (Brigadier is the Military term Bruna  )
Number 2, I can �t say... it looks like fried bread or something and for 3, as Bruna has said, we have no word for "coxinhas"... the closest thing might be "a (cheese, meat, etc) filled croquette".

, I �d have to say those are not actually truffles. Truffles are stuffing covered with pure chocolate, but I guess that would be the closest term for it in English.
