MAGIC BROWNIE RECIPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Have you ever had magic bars? Well, this version takes a basic brownie recipe and transforms them into huge ooey-gooey magic brownies to share for the holiday season. Add a holiday flare like crushed peppermint and festive sprinkles to take them over the top.

Here are the basic ingredients you will need so make these dreamy brownie bars.

Boxed Fudge Brownie Mix
Smart Balance Buttery Spread
6 eggs
1 can Nestlé La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz)
Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Flaked coconut

Optional toppings: Crushed Peppermint, mini marshmallows and holiday sprinkles

To kick things off, I prepared the brownie mix and partially baked.

Then, I followed up with the gooey toppings including the shredded coconut, chocolate chips and 1 can Nestlé La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz). The brownies get returned to the oven for all the magic to happen! Let me tell you, some serious magic is definitely happening as the condensed milk caramelizes and becomes a holiday dream.
