Brigadeiro
5 stars for simple 3 ingredients, easy to make and lots of fun, especially for kids to help. Toppings I have tried include, coconut, cocoa powder, crushed up shortbread, various sprinkles, and chocolate sprinkles, powdered sugar. Excellent! And I was suprised they are not so sickening sweet as I had anticipated. For those who need help with the Metric Conversion.... 14oz is roughly 400 ml (396 actually).

Spooky Witches Fingers
I made these for friends and family and they were a big hit. The perfect cookie for a cup of coffee during the Halloween time. I did what others suggested and added green food color to the dough. I totally disagree with other reviewers in that they are not sweet enough, no extra sugar is needed. I would recommend instead to use really good butter, I used Kerry Gold Butter from Ireland and they tasted out of this world. I at first made a baking tray with really skinny fingers, and then was running out of time so I made them raw, finger sized but after baking, they were too big so I said they were from fat witches. Thanks for this recipe its in my October recipe batch for years to come! One more tip I used skinned almonds, and a few from the package had splits or were jagged at the "tip of the nail" area, these I searched for because they gave a pefect witchy appearance compaired to the "perfect" almond finger nails. Next time I will buy several bags to get the perfect ones for the fingers, and save the other ones for Gingerbread cookies for Advent

Kentucky Butter Cake
Makes a great cake, I have used it several times, in fact it is one of my husbands favorites. The only thing I do is to put the mark of a bourbon vanilla pod into the batter instead of vanilla extract as I do not have extract available to buy where I live. Thanks for sharing!
