    These sweetened condensed milk brownies are super chocolatey and gooey. They’re also super simple to make.

    This was inspired by my Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies. I loved the sweetness and richness condensed milk added to these cookies. I knew brownies made with condensed milk would be equally amazing!

    • Condensed Milk Brownies

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • Sweetened condensed milk makes these brownies very moist and delicious!
    • These brownies are made with melted chocolate, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and hot fudge sauce!
    • You do not need a mixer to make the brownies. Both the brownies and hot fudge sauce are super easy to make!

    Ingredients

    Labeled ingredients needed to make condensed milk brownies laid out on a table.

    Below are some useful notes about some ingredients used in this condensed milk brownie recipe.

    • Sweetened condensed milk– Sweetened condensed milk adds additional sweetness. It also adds fat and makes these brownies extra rich and moist! I use store bought sweetened condensed milk.
    • Butter-Use unsalted butter. The butter is going to be melted, so it doesn’t need to be room temperature.
    • Sugar-This recipe calls for both granulated and brown sugar. I recommend using dark brown sugar for this recipe.
    • 2 eggs- Use 2 large room temperature eggs.
    • Chocolate Chips– Use semi-sweet chocolate.

    See recipe card for full list of ingredients and their quantities.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • Chocolate chips- instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, try white chocolate, dark or milk chocolate chips! You could also top them with Reese’s Pieces or M&Ms!
    • Cocoa powder – instead of regular cocoa powder, use Dutch Process cocoa powder.
    • Chocolate fudge sauce– use caramel sauce or slightly melted Nutella to drizzle over the brownies!
    • I haven’t made these brownies without eggs. If you’re looking for a good vegan brownie recipe, try these Best Ever Vegan Brownies by Nora Cooks!
    • 8×8 inch pan – these brownies can be made using a 9 x 9 inch pan. They will be a little thinner, but equally delicious!
    • Flaky sea salt– it’s not specified in the recipe, but you can never go wrong with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt! A little sea salt on top of the baked brownies will bring out all the chocolate flavor!

    Instructions

    Step 1: (Photo 1 above). Whisk the melted butter and sugar til smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla.

    Step 2: (Photo 2 above). Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and melted chocolate.

    Step 3: (Photo 3 above). Stir in the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into an 8 inch square pan. Bake at 350 F for 25-29 minutes.

    Step 4: (Photo 4 above). Allow brownies to cool. Once cooled, slice and enjoy or drizzle with a quick hot fudge sauce (insturction in recipe card below).

    Recipe FAQs

    Can you freeze brownies?

    Yes! Wrap leftover brownies tightly with plastic wrap and/or place them in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

    Should brownies be cakey or fudgy?

    I think this is a personal preference. Like most people, however, I prefer fudgy brownies!

    Do you cut brownies hot or cold?

    Warm brownies are so delicious, but it’s best to cut brownies when they have cooled completely. This allows the brownies to set and makes it easier to cut them.

    How do I store these brownies?

    These condensed milk chocolate brownies should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.

    Expert Tips

    Avoid overmixing! Overmixing lets more air into the batter and gives you cakey brownies. For fudgy brownies, mix with a spatula until dry ingredients just disappear.

    Use a light colored metal pan. I wouldn’t recommend using a glass pan or a dark colored pan for brownies.

    Allow brownies to cool before cutting. It’s best to allow brownies to cool completely or for at least 30 minutes.

      Loved this recipe but for some reason the middle section just wasn’t cooked. I did mix a little more as I prefer a cake brownie instead of fudgy. Could this be why? Tin was the right size had to use dark choc as I am in the uk and unsweetened was just cost prohibitive. Any suggestions as I would love to make again!!

        Hi Candice, I’m glad to hear you loved the recipe, but sorry the middle section wasn’t cooked. I don’t think mixing it more would have caused that problem. Were you by any chance using a glass pan? Those can take longer to bake in. The other thing may be the oven temperature. As you probably know, ovens can vary. If you have an oven thermometer, that can help ensure the temp is accurate. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you’re able to try the recipe again with better success! 🙂

      These sound amazing. Can I sub some of the chocolate with toblerone (my kids have a ridiculously large bar of toblerone)? I assume I should cut some of the sugar to avoid a sugar coma though? Right? Advice?

        Hi Karen,
        Hmmm I think I know what size toblerone bars you’re talking about 🙂 Unfortunately I’ve never tried it with a bar of toberlone so I can’t say for sure how it would work. I think it would be okay to add some chopped toblerone on the top of the brownies instead of chocolate chips, but other than that I can’t say for sure since there’s a good chance it would make the brownies too sweet. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
