Can I use UK condensed milk for brigadeiro?

Yes, but Brazilian condensed milk is a little thicker and gives the classic texture. Whichever you use, cook it until it comes away from the bottom of the pan.

How long do brigadeiros keep?

About 3 days at room temperature in a closed box, or up to a week in the fridge.

Where can I buy Brazilian chocolate in the UK?

My Brazil sells Garoto, Lacta and Nestlé Brazil chocolates online with UK delivery, and in our shop in Bootle, Liverpool.
