by HollyThese brownies are moist, gooey and chewy with the addition of a secret ingredient! There are two methods for this recipe… one uses a box mix as a starter (I like easy) and one is from scratch!
The Secret Ingredient
These will stay nice and fudgy with the addition of a surprise ingredient… sweetened condensed milk! Once you add it to your brownie mix the first time, you’ll always want to bake them that way!
I topped mine with Oreo cookies… feel free to add your own yummy twists like:
- 1/2 cup of nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup coconut
Be sure to keep an eye on them when baking. You want them cooked but not overcooked!
