How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process:
- Prepare and bake the brownies according to the instructions on the box. Make sure to use the recommended pan size for the best results.
- Once baked (toothpick should come out clean!), poke holes throughout the baked brownies with a knife. Don’t be shy—this step is crucial for the next part!
- While the brownies are still hot, pour 1/2 a can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top. Use a spatula to spread it out and make sure it seeps into those lovely holes you just made.
- Sprinkle 1/2 a bag of milk chocolate chips over the top. The heat from the brownies will start to melt the chocolate, creating that irresistible, crackly texture.

- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Don’t overbake! The brownies should be fudgy in the center.
- Let the brownies cool slightly before slicing, but they’re best served warm.
- Experiment with mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
How to Serve
These brownies are delicious on their own, but why stop there? Try serving them with:
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream and fresh berries
- A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce
- A side of fresh fruit for a lighter contrast
