Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Optional: additional chocolate chips or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Melt the Butter and Chocolate

• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and melted. Alternatively, you can melt the butter and chocolate together on the stovetop over low heat, stirring constantly.

3. Mix in the Condensed Milk

• Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla

• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until smooth.

5. Sift Dry Ingredients

• In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even mixing.

6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough brownies.

7. Bake the Brownies

• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top, if desired.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the brownies to be fudgy.

8. Cool and Serve

• Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Once cooled, serve the brownies and enjoy!

Tips

• For an extra indulgent treat, swirl a spoonful of peanut butter or caramel sauce into the brownie batter before baking.
• Customize your brownies by adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut to the batter.
• Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life. Brownies can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
