These 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! 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!

Everything’s better with sweetened condensed milk! And thanks for making me crave brownies at 10:30pm. ;) ! Thanks for sharing at Inspire Us Thursday on Organized 31.
OH YUM!!! I can never turn down a brownie! I love a soft brownie, so this recipe is perfect! I’ll be sharing this recipe on FB, Twitter and Pinterest. Thanks for linking up to Wake up Wednesdays!
Why not make from a family-size brownie mix and use a 13×9 pan? I’m an odd person that likes to bake but has not brownie pans, lol.
I like the small ones because guess who eats it all… ;) It would work with a 9×13 and family size as well! I would still use just one can of sweetened condensed milk (based on the gooey-ness of the ones I have tried!).
If you try it, please let us know how it works out for you! :0
Is there any reason for the parchment paper other than easy removal from the pan? It’s not something I have on hand, but have all other ingredients to make this now!
Yes, that’s the only reason I use it! Enjoy!
