Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 Box Brownie Mix
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Whole Eggs
Toppings
- 1/2 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1/2 Bag Milk Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box by combining the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake according to the box’s recommended time until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Poke Holes in Brownies: Immediately after removing the brownies from the oven, use a knife to poke holes evenly throughout the warm brownies. This will allow the condensed milk to seep in and infuse the brownies deeply.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: While the brownies are still hot, pour half a can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the surface. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread the condensed milk so it covers all areas and soaks into the holes.
- Sprinkle Chocolate Chips: Finish by sprinkling half a bag of milk chocolate chips evenly over the top of the brownies. Allow the residual heat to slightly melt the chocolate chips, creating a delicious topping.
Notes
- For best results, use a high-quality sweetened condensed milk brand.
- Allow the brownies to cool sufficiently after adding the condensed milk and chocolate chips for easier cutting.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Feel free to use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips as an alternative to milk chocolate chips.
