No-Bake Brownies Recipe

By

  • 12

Ingredients

  • 4 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1. Line a square 8-in. pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and grease lightly. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, salt, and walnuts until evenly distributed. Optionally, add in chopped crystalized ginger, dried cherries, sweetened coconut flakes, or vanilla or almond extract.

3. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir.

4. Chop the semi-sweet chocolate, and melt either in a double-boiler or in the microwave. (For the microwave, heat for 30 seconds on medium power, stir, and repeat for 15 seconds until chocolate is melted.)

5. Stir melted chocolate into bowl, and stir. Pour into the pan, and spread as evenly as possible. (Mine did not come out very evenly, but it doesn't affect the brownies.)

6. Chill for at least an hour, covered. Cut with a sharp knife, and serve cold.
