    Nutty Brownies 

    These Nutty Fudgy Brownies are a definite favorite around here, an oldie but a goodie! I love brownies with all kinds of nuts, inside and out! In this recipe you have the option of doing both.

    Usually, I love to cover the top of the brownies with nuts but my husband and son always include them on the inside too. I leave the decision up to you. My husband thinks you should be able to decide just how nutty you prefer your brownies and he is right!

    Brownies with Nuts

    My grandmother used to stay with my sister and I when we were young, during the week, while we were in elementary school. She was one of my most favorite people in the entire world, as many of you already know.

    She used to give us brownies, with walnuts, regularly as a dessert, for our lunch. Every time I make and eat one I always think of her, to this day and I probably always will.

    This recipe totally reminds me of her and I hope you enjoy it as much as we all do!

    This was inspired by my other brownie recipe on this site and pairs well with this amazing fruit salad recipe.

    FAQ

    Do you have questions about these condensed milk brownies? Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about sweetened condensed milk brownies.

    What does sweetened condensed milk do to brownies?

    Adding sweetened condensed milk to brownies makes them sweeter, richer, and more fudgy.

    What is the secret to fudgy brownies?

    The secret to fudgy brownies is more fat. Fudgy brownies have a higher fat ratio than cakey brownies, so add extra butter, eggs, or other fatty ingredients to get those brownies fudgy!

    How do you cut brownies properly?

    Let the brownies cool completely. Then, remove them from the pan. Using a sharp knife, make smooth, even cuts down the length of the brownie, followed by more cuts along the width.
