These sweetened condensed milk brownies are rich, fudgy, and surprisingly easy to make. This is a one-bowl brownie recipe, and all you need is a whisk to mix the batter. The sweetened condensed milk gives the brownies a fudgy texture and a delicious milk caramel flavor.If you want a larger batch, read the notes for directions to bake the brownies in a 13 x 9 inch pan.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
Place the butter and chopped chocolate in a large microwavable bowl. Melt in the microwave using 10 second bursts, stirring between bursts.
Add the condensed milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk well. Stir in the eggs.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir well. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie batter into the pan and bake for 20 to 22 minutes.
The center of the brownies will appear slightly underbaked but they will firm up when they cool.
Notes
If you use a 9 x 9 inch pan, reduce the baking time to 18 to 20 minutes.
If you want to make a larger batch in a 13 x 9 inch pan, double the recipe and bake the brownies for 33 to 36 minutes.
If you have an instant-read thermometer, the brownies will be done baking when the internal temperature reads between 180°F to 198°F. They will be a bit gooey at 180°F and well-done at 198°F.
If you don't have an instant-read thermometer bake the brownies until they get slightly puffed and cracked around the edges of the pan.
