Mary’s Brigadeiro Sweets is a Toronto-based chocolatier who specializes in Brazilian-inspired, handcrafted gourmet chocolates. The brand recently debuted the limited-edition Brigadeiro Chocolate Bar from the AMOR Valentine's Collection. The decadent product features a 33% milk chocolate base filled with a crunchy red fruit praline, adorned with a chocolate heart shape. The full list of ingredients includes milk, nuts, wheat-based crepes, and dried red fruits, with potential allergens such as dairy, soy, eggs, tree nuts, coconut, and wheat due to shared equipment.
Each limited-edition bar is meticulously crafted by a team led by chef chocolatier Nicoleta. Packaged in a clear cello wrap, Mary’s Brigadeiro Sweets' bar is designed for gifting. While it was a great choice for Valentine’s Day, the universality of chocolate makes it ideal to celebrate any occasion.
