Brownies recipe using sweetened condensed milk

Also, using a box makes these come together super fast. And when you have a I NEED IT NOW craving for chocolate, time is important.

I made these gooey bars like I make all my other versions. You start with a box mix and add an egg and a stick of butter. The dough is very stiff. If you have one, use a stand mixer. The dough comes together much faster that way. If you’re using a hand mixer, it will work, but it’ll take longer, so keep that in mind. I don’t recommend doing this by hand unless you have rock star biceps. And if you do, please email me your workout. Thanksmuch.

Half the dough gets pressed into a pan. Be sure you spray it with cooking spray! Even better, line it with foil AND spray it. These suckers can get sticky!

Half a can of sweetened condensed milk goes on top, along with a cup of chocolate chips. I used dark chocolate chips, but you can use any kind you have in your pantry. You can also use chopped candy bars: Reese’s, M&Ms, Butterfingers, Rolos, Almond Joy, Kit Kat….etc.

Tip: when you’re pouring on the sweetened condensed milk, make sure it does not touch the edges of the pan. Drop the remaining dough on the top of the bars and press it around the edges as much as possible to create a seal. If the SCM is touching the edge of the pan, it will bubble up and brown. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it becomes like caramel and gets very sticky (for removing and for eating).

I let these cool to room temperature on the counter before cutting them. They stayed gooey and drippy, like you see in the photos. If you want them to keep that look, store them at room temperature. If you chill them, the’ll firm up and be gooey, but less drippy. Your choice!

Seriously. Best way to eat brownies. EVER.

Suddenly, I’m getting another brownie craving….
