Christmas In Brazil

                                                                                                                                          
         Brazilian Peanut Fudge
                      Ingredients            
                 1 (8 ounce) jar of roasted peanuts, skins removed
                 1 (8 ounce) package tea biscuits (such as Marie Biscuits)
                 2 tablespoons of white sugar
                 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk

                                     Directions     
        1.   Line a 9-inch square dish with waxed paper.
        2.   Pulse the peanuts and biscuits together in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse flour. Add the sugar and pulse to mix. Pour the sweetened, condensed milk into the mixture and process until the mixture forms a ball that pulls away from the sides of the food processor bowl.
        3.   Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and press with your hands into an even layer. Allow to sit at least 15 minutes, up to overnight. Remove from the dish and cut into squares to serve. Store in air-tight containers between uses.


                                   Christmas in Brazil
                       1. In Brazil, like America, they create a nativity scene or a Presépio.
                       2. What we call Santa, Brazilians call him Papai Noel (Father Noel).
                       3. One tradition is called amigo secreto (secret friend) where everyone writes a name on a slip of paper and then exchange them with everyone. Sort of like a secret Santa.
                       4. Brazilians use flowers from their gardens to decorate during this holiday.
                       5. Most Christmas songs in Brazil are imported.
