Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together in a large bowl the condensed milk, oil, egg, vanilla, chocolate, chocolate chips, and salt.
- Pour half of the mixture into a greased 8 x 8-inch baking pan and press lightly into the pan.
- Bake until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For fudgier brownies, consider using less flour or adding an extra egg. You can substitute the chocolate with cocoa powder mixed with a little oil for a lighter option. If you don't have chocolate chips, chopped nuts or dried fruit can be great additions for extra texture. Don't overbake to keep them moist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a delicious contrast. They also pair well with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving with a slice of Lemon Delight Cake for a refreshing balance.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of condensed milk?
While condensed milk adds sweetness and moisture, you can substitute it with an equal amount of evaporated milk mixed with sugar. This will alter the texture slightly but still yield delicious brownies.
How can I tell when the brownies are done baking?
The brownies are done when the edges look set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. This indicates a fudgy texture, which is ideal for this recipe.
Can I add nuts to the brownie mixture?
Absolutely! Chopped walnuts or pecans can add a delightful crunch and flavor. Just fold them in gently with the other ingredients before pouring the mixture into the baking pan.
