Beijinho is the coconut version of the Brazilian brigadeiro. When rolled, it can be covered with granulated sugar or grated coconut. Traditionally a single clove is stuck in the top of the candy.
It is believed[2] that Beijinho was originally called "Nun's kiss" and formerly made with almonds, water and sugar.
