Keebler No-Bake Brownies
Creamy, rich no-bake brownies with chocolate, graham crackers, and pecans, perfect for quick desserts and satisfying sweet cravings without baking.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine evaporated milk and chocolate chips; cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix in the crushed graham crackers and chopped pecans using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
- Spread the mixture in a greased 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan.
- Refrigerate until the brownies are firm, then cut into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be excellent substitutions. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark or milk chocolate. For a fun twist, try adding a swirl of peanut butter, similar to what you'd find in a Peanut Butter And Jelly Party Pie.
Serving Suggestions
These no-bake brownies are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. They also pair beautifully with fresh fruit, making them a great addition to a dessert platter alongside a Brownie Fruit Pizza. For a festive touch, top with whipped cream and chopped nuts before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then enjoy them chilled or let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cracker instead of graham crackers?
Yes, you can substitute with other types of crushed cookies or crackers, such as digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers. Just ensure they are finely crushed to maintain the texture of the brownies.
How long do these brownies need to set in the refrigerator?
The brownies usually need about 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator to firm up properly. For best results, allow them to chill overnight for a more solid texture.
Can I make these brownies vegan?
To make vegan no-bake brownies, substitute the evaporated milk with a plant-based milk and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Ensure that the other ingredients, like the graham crackers, are also vegan-friendly.
