I share my method for making bala baiana, the vira I share my method for making bala baiana, the viral Brazilian candy that I grew up eating. I walk through cooking the filling until it pulls from the pan, rolling it into balls, dipping toothpick tips in butter before inserting them, and cooking the syrup to the hard-crack stage. Then I show how to work quickly—tilting the pan and twirling the candies in the syrup to create that signature crackly shell. I even brought back authentic paper cups from Brazil to serve them in.

I couldn’t have been older than five… and for some reason, I thought it was the prettiest, coolest thing in the world.

Just rice pressed into a bowl and flipped over.

What a random memory to still remember.

Now I want to hear yours — what’s a tiny childhood food memory that stuck with you? 👇

But Italian seasoning works beautifully too if that’s what you have.

Save this for when you need a dinner that feels impressive but isn’t.
