How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the step-by-step process:

  1. Prepare and bake the brownies according to the instructions on the box. Make sure to use the recommended pan size for the best results.
  2. 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!

  4. 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.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are a few tips to ensure your Crack Brownies turn out perfectly every time:

  • 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
