Nanny'S Blue Ribbon Brownies
Nanny's Blue Ribbon Brownies are rich, fudgy treats loaded with chocolate and nuts, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and sharing at gatherings or family dessert tables.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine chocolate morsels and butter in a glass bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring once.
- Stir in sweetened condensed milk, beaten egg, biscuit mix, and chopped nuts if desired.
- Spoon the batter into a greased 13 x 9-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the chocolate flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract. If you don’t have biscuit mix, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or replace them with chocolate chips for added sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own but pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra treat, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce. They also make a great addition to dessert tables alongside recipes like Blueberry Cream Pie(9-Inch Pie) or Colonial Pecan Carrot Cake With Orange Glaze.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave individual squares for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate morsels?
Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate for semi-sweet chocolate morsels. However, keep in mind that dark chocolate is usually less sweet, which may alter the final taste of the brownies.
What can I use instead of sweetened condensed milk?
If you don’t have sweetened condensed milk, you can make a homemade version by simmering regular milk with sugar until it thickens, or use evaporated milk with added sugar. This substitution will still provide the necessary sweetness and moisture.
Can I add other mix-ins to the brownies?
Absolutely! You can add chocolate chips, dried fruits, or different nuts based on your preference. Just be mindful of the total volume so that the brownies maintain their texture.
