Ingredients
Salted butter - I use salted butter when baking. If you have unsalted butter add an additional pinch of salt.
Semisweet chocolate chips - This recipe comes out best with semi-sweet chips. If you choose to use unsweetened chocolate or sweeter chocolate you will need to adjust the amount of sugar to make up the difference.
Sweetened condensed milk - You need one small can of sweetened milk. It normally comes in a 14 oz can. I didn't want to end up with leftover condensed milk and not know what to do with it so I developed this recipe to use one whole can.
Sugar - I used white sugar but you can use brown sugar or a combination if you prefer.
Eggs - Large eggs are best. If you have smaller eggs or larger eggs the consistency might be thrown off.
Vanilla - Vanilla extract brings out the flavor of the chocolate and enhances the flavors in the sweetened condensed milk brownies.
All Purpose Flour - Regular all-purpose flour is perfect for this recipe.
Cocoa powder - Regular cocoa powder is fine.
Salt - A bit of added salt will enhance the other flavors.

How to Make Condensed Milk Brownies
Step One: Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by spraying with cooking spray and lining with parchment paper. Or use metal pans lined with foil and greased well. Melt butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe medium large bowl or in a small saucepan.
Step Two: Stir in the condensed milk.
Step Three: Next, add the sugar and vanilla. You can mix this by hand with a wooden spoon, rubber spatula, or metal spoon but if you prefer to use an electric mixer that is fine.
Step Four: Add the eggs. If the chocolate mixture is still hot cool it to room temperature before adding the eggs so they don't scramble. After that, add the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until smooth.
Step Five: Stir in the remaining semi sweet chocolate chips. If you want you can reserve some to sprinkle on top of the batter.
Step Six: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out smooth.
Step Seven: Bake the brownies in the oven at 350 just until they are set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few wet crumbs attached but not covered in raw batter.
Step Eight: Let cool for at least 15 minutes before lifting the parchment paper out of the pan. If any of the brownie is touching the edges run a knife around that edge first to loosen it.
Top Tip
I do highly recommend lining the baking pan with parchment. These are so fudgy they can be hard to get out of the pan in one piece otherwise.
Variations
Mocha - Love the flavor of coffee paired with chocolate? Add a tablespoon or two of instant coffee granules or instant espresso powder to the batter. And then make sure to try our Espresso Brownies Recipe!
Mint - Add in a teaspoon of peppermint extract for the best mint brownies ever.
Nuts - If you like nuts in your brownies go ahead and add some. Walnuts and pecans are the most popular choices.
Peanut Butter - Drop dollops of peanut butter over the top of the batter and gently swirl before baking.
Cheesecake - Mix cream cheese with some egg yolk and sugar. Drop dollops of that over the brownie batter and swirl before baking. You can even add some raspberries for raspberry cheesecake brownies.
Chocolate - Swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips added in the last step for white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips. You should still use semisweet for the melted chocolate.
Dairy Free - I have not tested it but I think using coconut oil and condensed coconut milk would work to make these dairy-free.
Cakey Brownies - For cakier brownies add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the batter along with the flour.

Common Questions
Adding sweetened condensed milk to brownies makes them extra fudgy. Many recipes for fudge call for condensed milk (like my biscoff fudge recipe), so it is a natural addition when you want brownies with a fudge texture and crumb.
I prefer to store these in the fridge. They set up as they chill. And then if you want them warm just reheat them in the microwave. They last for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator or 2-3 months wrapped in plastic wrap in the freezer.
Ice cream, of course. These are amazing topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and even better with some Black Forest Ice Cream.
Otherwise, a dollop of whipped cream or a cup of cookie go well.Â
