Prep time: 10 Mins
Cook time: 4 Hrs (Including Refrigeration Time)
Yields: 16 Brownies
These no bake fudgy brownies are very easy to prepare and taste like the real deal.
- 1 (14oz/300ml) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 squares (1 oz each) Chopped Unsweetened Chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons Chocolate Cookie Crumbs (I used the Oreo baking crumbs)
- 1/4 cup Mini M&M's/Color sprinkles/Nuts
- Grease 8-inch square baking pan or line with foil.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened milk and chocolate; cook and stir just until boiling. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Stir in 2 cups of cookie crumbs. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs and sprinkles or nuts; press down gently with a spatula.
- Cover and chill 4 hours or until firm. Cut into squares. Store covered in refrigerator.
- The original recipe mentioned either greasing the pan or lining it with aluminum foil, so I went with the latter thinking it would make it easy to handle. I guess I should have even greased the foil lightly to lift the squares easily because the brownies were sticking to the foil and it was difficult (but manageable) to take it out. I think using wax paper instead of aluminum foil would have been a better option.
- Also using color sprinkles was a very bad idea because everything was falling down. Either I did not press it down properly before putting it in the fridge or I should have used mini M&M's (my kitchen would have been less messy) as given in the recipe or should have used the sprinkles after cutting the brownies into squares.
- If you are not able to find ready to use cookie crumbs, I think using powdered graham crackers (chocolate flavor) will also be good.
- I prepared it in the night before going to bed and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
- Updates: The brownies tend to stick to the surface, so even while storing them in the fridge keep it on a wax paper. When eaten straight from the fridge the brownies tend to be hard so take the brownies out of the fridge about 5-10 minutes before serving and it has the exact texture of baked brownies.
