Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips or Chopped Chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Crushed Graham Crackers or Digestive Biscuits
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the Chocolate and Butter — Gently melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined to create the luscious base.
  2. Step 2: Stir in Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla — Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. Mix thoroughly to achieve a glossy, creamy batter that will bind the dry ingredients perfectly.
  3. Step 3: Fold in Crushed Biscuits and Nuts — Gently fold in the crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits along with any optional chopped nuts. Ensure they are evenly distributed for texture and a pleasant crunch in every bite.
  4. Step 4: Press the Mixture into a Pan — Line a square or rectangular pan with parchment paper. Firmly press the brownie mixture into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles and ensure even thickness.
  5. Step 5: Chill Until Set — Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until firm. This chilling step sets the brownies, allowing for neat slicing and maintaining their fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t skip the chilling time to achieve the perfect fudgy bite.
  • Tap the pan after pressing to remove air bubbles and ensure even thickness.
  • Experiment with different biscuit types like digestive biscuits, graham crackers, or Oreo crumbs for varied textures.
  • Keep your spatula warm when smoothing the top to prevent sticking.
