This Brazilian confection is believed to have been invented in the mid-1940s, as part of Eduardo Gomes' presidential candidacy campaign. Gomes was a Brigadier- a military man- running for the presidency. One of his supporters, Heloisa Nabuco de Oliveira, invented and sold this treat, and named it after Gomes. While the confection soon became popular and remained so until today, Gomes never won the elections.
